I have a workign mx server (virtual) which I cloned to create a second
mx server. I changed the hostname and /etc/hosts and any reference I
could find to the old "mx4" name to "mx2". I also made sure reverse dns
and dns is OK. However, when I send mail, the recipient mail server
reports the below information (NOTE: the top header line where it shows
the old mx4 name AND the mx4 IP). I don't get where this is coming from
and am not sure why mail would appear to be getting routed through the
old mx server. the mx.domain.com server should have the IP
AAA.BBB.CCC.159. My postfix configuration uses a variable for the hostname
