Hello Postfix User List, I have a mail server that I use to provide a smart host service for my customers. I have a problem sending a message onto a recipient in the domain cbhc.uk.com. The failure message is below.
I'm struggling to work out why postfix is unable to forward this message when there is a valid MX record. The error states that there is no A record for the domain name (which is correct) but I would have thought Postfix should be looking for an MX record as well. I have checked /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf and confirmed that this contains valid DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and have confirmed that I am able to query for MX records (using dig) and I get correct results - I have also tested telnet on port 25 to each MX and confirmed I can connect. I have replaced any potentially sensitive data in the mail log entry whit HIDDEN - I hope this doesn't hamper any efforts to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
