Hi,

I’ve been trying to setup postfix 3.4.6 (ghettoforge.org 
<http://ghettoforge.org/> package) with dovecot, mailscanner and the mailwatch 
frontend on a centos 7 (cloudlinux 7.6) server.
Everything appears to work properly except that, when I setup smtp and lmtp as 
chrooted and try to send mail, a curious name resolution error happen. The 
exact error is as follow:

 unable to look up host mx.planethoster.net: Device or resource busy

This is particularly strange considering that to identify the MX of my domain, 
it was able to read its zone. Furthermore, if I su to the postfix user by 
giving it a login shell, I am able to dig the MX in question.
So, I can resolve the MX when logged in as the user, but postfix can’t for 
unknown reasons. Also, the chroot script was run and resolv.conf was properly 
copied in /var/spool/postfix/etc and has the proper permissions.
I suspect that some kind of limitation is put on postfix processes in the 
chroot jail, but I don’t know where to look and what to look at. Anyone ever 
experienced something similar?
