Hi:
I am running QmailToaster and have been for many years. Recently (the
last month), I have been receiving these errors:
deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/
<snip>
In addition I have changed out DNS programs on the mail server to
try to help i.e.
caching-nameserver
pdns-recursor
djbdns (rbldnsd)
Currently, I have DNS lookups pointed to a Windows DNS server with the
same issue. Doing a dig or nslookup on the mx records shows a valid
mx record.
Does anyone have an idea as to the problem?
Thanks,
Ed
You remembered to change your /etc/resolv.conf file with these
resolvers, right?
(nameserver 127.0.0.1)
I recommend using pdns-recursor, installed on the QMT host. PowerDNS
is a modern, efficient, well maintained resolver. If that has an issue
resolving something, the problem is likely with the target domain's
DNS records.
Hi Eric:
Yes, I did change the resolv.conf to to reflect only the 127.0.0.1.
But Dig works for the domains see below:
