You have a mis-configured name service that breaks Postfix's
DNS lookups.
That can be due to bad contents in the resolv.conf file that POSTFIX
uses, or some missing file that is needed to resolve names (not
necessarily the same file as when YOU type commands).
It can also be due to a file or DIRECTORY permission problem.
POSTFIX does not use root privileges, whereas users often debug
problems as root. For that, the simple solution is to debug DNS
lookups as a non-root user.
