I am running into ridiculous problems with postfix that I do not understand. I have a valid fully qualified hostname (stonekeep.ravenhome.net). I have DNS setup (right now by kppp with entries for my proper DNS's in my resolv.conf file.
If I ping yahoo.com, no problem, it pings as expected. If I send an email to myself at yahoo.com via my local postfix, however, I get a messages thus: Jan 24 17:29:20 stonekeep postfix/smtp[3701]: 95785402248: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=none, delay=1565, status=deferred (Name service error for yahoo.com: Host not found, try again) What?! Is postfix retarded? Why is it not able to use the DNS like every other net app on my system? Why can't it "find" yahoo.com? I have also run into this with a few other email addresses that DO exist yet postfix refuses to send because the hostname couldn't be found. What does it take for postfix to accept DNS reality? I am not sure that this message will get out either but on the off-chance that it does...Help please? I have a number of other problems I need to work out via other mailing lists and this inability to mail extant domains is killing me. praedor
