Thanks a lot Camaleón, you really know how to search. :-) On the not so light side of the issue, no, playing with the "/etc/ resolv.conf" setup didn't work for me. This is a live system, and I get IP from pump, which in turn tampers my well prepared /etc/resolv.conf file before MTA get started. Well, at least I have a solution -- reverting to full host name in /etc/ hosts & /etc/hostname, the ugliest solution, but the best I get so far...
