Hello.
I installed FC3 today and can receive mail just fine. Outgoing mail,
however, is being queued by sendmail due to host name lookup failures. I
send mail using my ISPs SMTP server as a smart host.
mailq shows every message in the queue with this error:
Deferred: Name server: relay.plus.net: host name lookup fail
I can dig relay.plus.net and it resolves just fine and I can ping it. I
can't get an MX record for it however.
This worked fine on FC2, but I can't be completely sure my sendmail and
name resolver config is exactly the same as I had on FC2.
Any clues anyone?
Cheers,
Eliot Stock.
