Hello , i've a question , i want do configure postfix to use
external dns like (8.8.8.8) to resolve every domain (lookup
for examples)
for incoming mail and outgoing mail. I don't want to use local
dns on postfix server is it possible?
Is it possible to use :
smtp_host_lookup = ?
Thank's a lot
If you don't want to use local DNS, then don't set any up.
Postfix uses whatever the system is configured to use in
/etc/resolv.conf.
There is no separate postfix config for setting a DNS resolver.
That said, it's really a mistake to not use any resolver at
all on anything bigger than a toy server.
At least set up a local caching resolver with 8.8.8.8 as the
forwarder.
