Qmail asks for "ANY" and this includes "NSEC" and "RRSIG", too.
Qmail does not support EDNS and therefore get an truncated response
 as RfC 1035 requires.
Qmail does not support the TCP fallback requirement and got struck.

If qmail would ask for "MX" and "A", there would be no problem at all.
But qmail ask for "ANY".

"NSEC" and "RRSIG" are covered by "ANY".
