Repeating ‘received a response that is not DNSSEC validated’ messages on a fresh Virtualmin Ubuntu 22.04 server

You might see these repeating messages on a newly perfectly installed Virtualmin server:

Jun 1 06:44:36 host postfix/smtp[104754]: warning: reason: dnssec_probe 'ns:.' received a response that is not DNSSEC validated
Jun 1 06:44:36 host postfix/smtp[104756]: warning: DNSSEC validation may be unavailable
Jun 1 06:44:36 host postfix/smtp[104756]: warning: reason: dnssec_probe 'ns:.' received a response that is not DNSSEC validated
Jun 1 06:44:36 host postfix/smtp[104758]: warning: DNSSEC validation may be unavailable
Jun 1 06:44:36 host postfix/smtp[104758]: warning: reason: dnssec_probe 'ns:.' received a response that is not DNSSEC validated
Jun 1 06:44:36 host postfix/smtp[104766]: warning: DNSSEC validation may be unavailable

By come accounts you can ignore these warnings which were introduced in a Postfix 3.5.9 update:

You can determine you Postfix version so:

# postconf mail_version
mail_version = 3.6.4

But can you? Should you? How can one turn off this clutter? Let us know in the comments what you think.
