Why does that not surprise me....

One wonders why you would want to canonify those values... ?

How does postfix not need DNS? How is it able to deliver remote mail?
That strikes me as odd ;) 

I can vouch for qmail though - that's what I use at work (exim at home,
just to be different). It's very simple to configure - it's actually
confusing at first, but when you realise how simple it is, it clicks.
Just a shame about the license...

Cheers,
