Hi all,
I'm trying to send mail to people in Microsoft.com and have been
getting a strange lookup error. All other mail is going out fine.
Here is what the SEND log shows:
2009-04-06 09:54:19.503746500 starting delivery 77850: msg 755349 to
remote [email protected]
2009-04-06 09:54:19.503749500 status: local
0/10 remote 1/60
2009-04-06 09:54:55.478631500 delivery 77850:
deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/
If I do a
"dig mx microsoft.com" I get: mail.global.frontbridge.com and
the A records are correct IP addresses.
Anyone else seen this
before? I've tried the dns lookup from other machines outside my systems
and they are all consistent so I know it's all good information.
Incidently, I find it interesting that when I did a telent 25 to that MX
host that a postfix mail system answered. From MS I would have expected a
MS product.
Thanks,
Phil
Are you running an older version of QMT? There was a patch that was
supposed to have been put in a long time ago that would allow it to
lookup CNAMEs for MX records (technically a bad practice).
Back before the patch I'd written an entry on the wiki on how to work
around this. It's not perfect, but it does work:
