Subject: "Name service error for domain" insanity
From: jims (jim.wellergci.net)
Date: Sun Jun 11 2000 - 18:37:06 CDT

I'm going nuts. I love postfix (love it) and have been using it quite
successfully for about
three months (I mean LOVE IT).

I recently recompiled the *whole* GNU/Linux system using gcc-2.95.2 and
glibc-2.1.3. Now
with the new postfix install I am having issues. I've read -every- message
on the list
pertaining to DNS and "Name service" to no avail. It seems like most of the
problems
were silly DNS issues. I don't believe my setup falls into that category.

I am *not* running in a chroot jail.

I can recieve mail fine jimweller.net

I *cannot* send mail to *any* outside address

Masses of relevant data listed below.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
