Well, I was just answering your question about the reason about FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') may have changed. As per your original problem, Brian's note says that mail.virgin.net could not be resolved which is why he led you to that option. It looks, though, when I just tried it, it resolved fine: ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @67.153.21.4 mx virgin.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 45233 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 3 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;virgin.net.

And, if so, does your mail now work? Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
