The link you provided put me on the right track.  At this url there are three answers to the question how to disable systemd-resolved in Ubuntu 17.04.  The first answer says it also works for Ubuntu 18.04.  The instructions in the first answer fixed the problem for me.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

It's using a local dnsmasq server for caching, akin to what windoze does, only it uses an external service and not hidden behind the scenes.  You can remove dnsmasq, usually at least, and resolve direct against your dns servers, I usually start by removing the package, as I've had enough issues with it being weird, I tend to not like using it.

I'm presuming 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.1 are valid dns servers?

I'm having a weird issue that network manager has a bad dns stuck in it somewhere that keeps causing me site delays when it'll randomly put it back into my dns servers list as first.  It's not a setting I can find, or anything in /etc/, I'm thinking something in gconf settings lost, but might be something similar there if that 192.168.1.4 servers isn't valid.

This might be useful to see what servers dnsmasq is using.

    Today I noticed a problem when I use Thunderbird to check my email
    on my
    Kubuntu 18.04 box.  I got  the following error in Thunderbird:
    Failed to
    connect to imap.comcast.net <http://imap.comcast.net> However it
    will connect to
    imap.comcast.net <http://imap.comcast.net>. I also couldn't ping
    imap.comcast.net <http://imap.comcast.net>.

    delboy@ladmo:~$ ping imap.comcast.net <http://imap.comcast.net>
    ping: imap.comcast.net <http://imap.comcast.net>: Name or service
    not known
    delboy@ladmo:~$

    In Network manager I have  the following DNS servers in this order:
    192.168.1.4 192.168.1.1, 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4.  I found this in
    /etc/resolv.conf

    # Generated by NetworkManager
    nameserver 127.0.0.53

    If I change 127.0.0.53 to one of the DNS servers I have in Network
    Manager, Thunderbird works again, but I'm not able to ping
    imap.comcast.net <http://imap.comcast.net>. I get the same error I
    mentioned earlier.  I really
    don't care if I can ping it or not as long as Thunderbird can
    connect to
    it.   However when I reboot or restart Network Manager,
    resolv.conf goes
    back to 127.0.0.3.

    Is there some bug with Network Manager or has comcast manged to
    screw up
    something?

    thanks
