Hi all,

On March 21st I noticed these entries in my mail log and I'm not able to pinpoint the source of the trouble:

warning: x.x.x.x.b.barracudacentral.org: RBL lookup error: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=x.x.x.x.b.barracudacentral.org type=A: Host not found, try again

By that point I hadn't made any changes to the Postfix config in several weeks (looked back through old mail logs and the entries were not there) and Postfix had been restarted several times since then. Knowing that I had to register the nameservers that my box uses through their website, I looked back over their "How to Use" guide here:

  http://www.barracudacentral.org/rbl/how-to-use

and found that they offer an easy test to make sure that DNS resolution is working properly:

Command: host 2.0.0.127.b.barracudacentral.org
 Result: 2.0.0.127.b.barracudacentral.org has address 127.0.0.2

I get the proper results, the zen.spamhaus.org entry I have is working fine and I've seen no DNS resolution errors in the logs for other daemons I run on the box so I'm somewhat at a loss. I also have no other nameserver entries on my box aside from the two entries that are already registerd with barracudacentral.org.

Is there anything obvious I can check?

Thank you for your time.
