Thanks a lot Wietse, for Postfix
and also for this very helpful reaction and good advice. It has worked, though not immediately. I had first also to put smtp_host_lookup on 'native, dns' (I did the same for lmtp_host_lookup, not sure that was needed). Everything started to go really well after I had also edited /etc/nsswitc.conf, by putting everything on 'files'. kind regards (en vriendelijke groet), Adri van Loopik. 2013/1/18 Wietse Venema <wie...@porcupine.org> > > Adri van Loopik: > > use a relayhost.
