Try: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#no_chroot. If it 
works, send a complaint to your vendor. I, the Postfix author, do
not recommend that chroot is turned on except by experts.

Try turning off chroot operation in master.cf
=

A common mistake is to turn on chroot operation in the master.cf
file without going through all the necessary steps to set up a
chroot environment. This causes Postfix daemon processes to fail
due to all kinds of missing files.

The example below shows an SMTP server that is configured with
chroot turned off:

/etc/postfix/master.cf:
# =
# service type  private unpriv  chroot  wakeup  maxproc command
#   (yes)   (yes)   (yes)   (never) (100)
# =
smtp  inet  n   -   n   -   -   smtpd

Inspect master.cf for any processes that have chroot operation not
turned off. If you find any, save a copy of the master.cf file,
and edit the entries in question. After executing the command
postfix reload, see if the problem has gone away.

If turning off chrooted operation made the problem go away, then
congratulations. Leaving Postfix running in this way is adequate
for most sites. If you prefer chrooted operation, see the Postfix
BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README file for information about how to prepare
Postfix for chrooted operation.

I have this same problem that I was not able to solve for almost a
week now. I posted too on various mailing lists including this (mail
from gmail and yahoo are blocked), some suggested to install a caching
nameserver but obviously in your case it doesn't work too. Replaced
OpenDNS with other DNS server to no avail, still the same result. If
rbl is enabled all incoming emails were blocked so I have no recourse
but to turn it off, caveat is I've got lots of SPAM. Also I don't have
Postfix in chroot environment.

Here's my log:

You are having a problem with a DNS server that produces bogus replies

You may want to use something like policyd-weight to moderate the
effects of a single RBL. It can be configured to require several
RBL's or message characteristics to be valid before the message is
rejected. It also allows you to adjust the reject threshold to
minimize false-positive responses.

Cheers,
Ken

you can easily check your DNS service with

host 1.0.0.127.google.com

if this returns a result, then your DNS provider is lying to you and
there is nothing we can do for you.

if installing BIND on your postfix machine, without using any forwarder,
doesn't fix the problem, then your ISP is redirecting your DNS traffic,
and the only thing you can do is complain to your ISP or switch.

if all you do is forward to another lying provider, that won't fix your
problem.


a workaround is
reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net=127.0.0.2

you can do this for other DNSBLs, but you'll need to include every
possible return code.

but this is just a workaround.

BTW, everybody is encouraged to use dnswl.org before DNSBL calls. see
www.dnswl.org for details.
