    Postfix does not look at your /etc/hosts, because it has its own DNS
    client built-in, and does not use the libc's resolver (which would break
    on older SunOS 4.1.x, for example). It figures the servers to query from
    /etc/resolv.conf (make sure you have a copy in /var/spool/postfix/etc/
    if you run your Postfix daemons chroot()ed).
