Actually it's horrible for mail servers. Although fine if you value its
ability to block sites for desktop use. At sites that I use it, I've
needed 2 DNS caches, one that forwards to OpenDNS for non-local systems
that desktops connects to, and one that resolves via the root servers
for the mail server. For my own use I prefer to resolve via the root
servers.
