Postfix will send A and AAAA queries, but it will report an error only for the last query that it tried. You might fimnd more details in the Postfix logging. So, the complete error message would be : "I made DNS queries with type A and AAAA for the name another-example.com.mail.protection.outlook.com. All queries failed. The last query that failed had type AAAA. The last error was "name exists but there is no AAAA record". But we reall don't want to send THAT in an email bounce message. > I wonder if beyond this bouncing the smtp uses then IPv4 and sends the > messages anyway. Please could you clarify this for me? All A and AAAA queries failed. Wietse
