I set up bind9 on an Ubuntu box several weeks ago. Now, email on two Ubuntu machines is broken. I get, e.g.
Dec 17 09:50:58 phoenix postfix/smtp[436]: 08D2A16A0E4: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, orig_to=<root>, relay=none, delay=8152, delays=8142/0.01/10/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=charlesc type=A: Host not found, try again) But I can do: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# host charlesc charlesc.localdomain has address 192.168.1.3 Trying the equivalent with dig, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dig charlesc ; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> charlesc ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 19310 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;charlesc.

Doing the same with charlesc.localdomain returns a correct answer section. resolv.conf is like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf search localdomain nameserver 192.168.1.47 This just started happening this weekend.
