Interesting problem that started about January 4 where users are getting defers for dns failure or network down - but only on two domains:

recipients hosted by arsmpt.com which hello is: appriver.com  - the fqdn is eagleofva.com.1.0001.arsmtp.com


relevant mail.log shows:

Jan  7 15:59:35 <server> courierd: started,id=0000000000080A02.000000005FF773DC.00004754,from=<senderemailaddress>,module=esmtp,host=<recepientserver>,addr=<recepientadress> Jan  7 15:59:36 <server> courieresmtp: id=0000000000080A02.000000005FF773DC.00004754,from=<senderemailaddress>,addr=<recepientadress>: DNS lookup failed.

Jan  7 15:59:36 <server> courieresmtp: id=0000000000080A02.000000005FF773DC.00004754,from=<senderemailaddress>,addr=<recepientadress>,status: deferred


however, when I perform an mx lookup from the MTA computer, it clearly shows the mail server.  I've telnet'd to recipients server and manually sent a message successfully.


I've got 18 messages in queue that are for people utilizing the primary host domain.  However, the log shows that other messages hosted by same provider is getting through.  It's two domains that I cannot get courier to deliver any messages.


Any help would be appreciated.


I know I'm missing something, but since I'm able to telnet send an email FROM the courier server to one of the servers in question, I think it must be a courier issue.  Could be wrong - been known to happen.........rarely.
