Is the issue at the client end or the server end? I.e. is it the
postfix/sendmail on dps.zbmc.eu saying that it is actually 84.45.228.40
and not dps.zbmc.eu or is it the postfix server process on mws.zbmc.eu
looking up dps.zbmc.eu and getting 84.45.228.40?
Do I have something like the problem described here:-
http://serverfault.com/questions/144986/postfix-uses-hostname-instead-of-myhostname
The question is how do I overcome it, what system calls does Postfix use
to get the hostname and why do they differ from what I see when I issue
the command 'hostname'?
