Package: postfix
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: normal

While moving servers around, I had my.relay.domain.org be a CNAME to
smtprelay.domain.org. The latter had an A record as well as an MX
record pointing to the same IP. postfix cannot handle this:

  Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
  name=my.relay.domain.org type=MX: Host not found, try again)

It works fine if I set relayhost=smtprelay.domain.org instead.
