Why are you MX host for a domain, and then sending its mail to the relayhost? That does not seem right. If you do that, then simply turn off DNS lookups in the SMTP client that sends to the relayhost. /etc/postfix/main.cf relay_transport = no_dns_smtp:example.com /etc/postfix/master.cf: no_dns_smtp .. ... .. .. smtp -o disable_dns_lookup=yes Wietse
