Hello!
I’m running Postfix 2.11.0,1 on FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p1 inside of a jail.
The jail is bound to an alias of the hosts loopback interface lo0.

I stumbled onto this error message while sifting through /var/log/maillog:

Apr 13 03:01:06 mail postfix/smtp[22641]: 4F6CD41BB: to=<root@db>,
relay=none, delay=0.17, delays=0.16/0/0/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host
or domain name not found. Name service error for name=db type=A: Host not
found)

I have several jails, all of them are affected by this issue. Mail
originating from the jail host, such as the output of the periodic scripts
is delivered without problem. Also, I am able to receive and send mails
from and off to other mailservers.

First thing I checked was the name resolution inside of the jails. All
jails, including the mail jail itself can properly resolve external
domains. It is not possible to resolve any of the hostnames of the jails
though.

I'd very much appreciate your help,

Sebastian
