I will upgrade to postfix 2; I'm just waiting to determine whether the upgrade will go okay over the top of my existing postfix 1 install. The 1.11.11-11.rpm is configured chroot by default, whereas Wietse's own distribution is not. (There was a discussion between him and the RPM developer in the postfix list the morning because of my question.) I have not found an RPM that claims to work with RH9. > "/etc/hosts".

Postfix; Name service error for groupone.intranets.com: Host found but no data record of requested type When this happens, I check the target MX manually, and it resolves just fine... [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# host -t MX groupone.intranets.com groupone.intranets.com mail is handled by 5 inbound.groupone.intranets.com.criticalpath.net. After I check it like this, the mail goes through the next time I try to send the same message. It appears that postfix's call to gethostbyname() is not triggering a recursive lookup. At least, named does not do anything. But when I make named go get the record from a shell prompt, the next time postfix asks for it, it finds it in the local cache. Does that sound reasonable? At any rate, I removed the acls from named.conf, and the problem seems to have gone away. I'll put them back in later, only I'll add 127.0.0.1, and see if I shoot myself in the foot again. --Eric _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
