Post subject: Sendmail: Deferred: Name server: xxx.xxx.xxx: host name lookup
Archived from groups: mailing>freebsd>isp (more info?)

Hello,

I have a problem with one of my servers,
Suddenly i am getting a lot of "Deferred: Name server: xxx.xxx.xxx: host
name lookup failure" while DNS resolving on that box is ok(from the
command line de backend servers do resolve and are reachable). The mail
stays in the mailqueue.

This is a mailscanning server (Mailscanner/Spamassasin/Clamav), witch
functions as primary mx for several domains, after receiving mail it
forwards this mail to backend servers(Using mailertable: domain.com
smtp:backendserver-n.xxxx.xx).

Any pointers on how to debug this would be appreciated!

Best regards,
Bas Hendriks
