  Forgive the obvious question, but is Solaris set to use hosts ahead
of DNS for name resolution? If not, this file might be ignored after
boot time. On Solaris either irs.conf or nsswitch.conf configures
this, IIRC.

  Try "host mailout.msxi-euro.com" at the command line and see if it
resolves there.
