Hi Andy-

What happens if you do an NSLOOKUP and then use the "server" command to
specify your DNS server. Then try to query for domain names.

Duh. I should have thought of that. Thanks.

It does give an interesting result. I am running Smarter Mail on this box, with its DNS pointed to 127.0.0.1 as usual. When I remove the outside DNS addresses from the NIC setup, SM could not find the destination mail servers and the outbound messages sat in the spool until they timed out. I was assuming that because SM couldn't find the domains the DNS wasn't resolving them.

But it seems the DNS does resolve addresses when the upstream resolvers are removed.

And then I ran some tests this morning, and everything works fine now.

So I still don't know what went wrong. I guess I'll leave it for now and keep an eye on things.
