I run dnsmasq instead of systemd-resolved on all my systems.

I recently moved my dekstop server to new hardware running xubuntu
24.04 replacing my previous system that was running xubuntu 22.04.

I installed dnsmasq and removed systemd-resolved and all seemed well
until I noticed I couldn't send E-Mail, I run a postfix 3.8.6 server
which sends outgoing E-Mail via my ISP's smarthost.

In the mail.log I was seeing lots of messages like:-

    2024-06-02T00:10:30.652648+01:00 q957 postfix/smtp[8733]: 9763C3542024: 
to=<ch...@isbd.co.uk>, relay=none, delay=8729, delays =8729/0.02/0/0, 
dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error 
for name=smtp-auth.mythic-beasts.com type=A: Host not found, try again)

But running 'host smtp-auth.mythic-beasts.com' returned a perfectly OK
address.

It turned out that the file /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf was:-

    nameserver 127.0.0.53
    options edns0 trust-ad
    search zbmc.eu

Changing it to:-

    nameserver 127.0.0.53
    options edns0 trust-ad
    search zbmc.eu

Has fixed the problem.

However I'm sure this isn't the 'right' way to do this.  How do I get
postfix to pick up the resolv.conf file that is used/created by dnsmasq?
