I've started seeing these in my logs:

Mar 31 19:59:40 server postfix/smtpd[1997]: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for
"host.suba.example.com IN A", got type "DNAME"

If I use host or ping, they correctly do a look up using the aliased domain
and return/use the IP. Can postfix be configured to handle DNAME records?

For example, looking up host.suba.example.com you might get:

suba.example.com has DNAME record subb.example.com

Then you need to look up host.subb.example.com, which will return a result.

Thanks!

Dan
