I assume Postfix (with smtp_tls_security_level = dane i.e. "Opportunistic DANE") deals with the negative response by downgrading to "encrypt", whereas the SERVFAIL response makes it refuse to connect altogether. My workaround was to switch from the systemd-resolved stub resolver to the upstream servers. In /etc/systemd/resolved.conf set: - DNS=... your upstream servers if not already given through DHCP ... - DNSStubListener=no + DNS=... your upstream servers if not already given through DHCP ... + DNSStubListener=no Then restart the service and restart Postfix if it is chrooted (so the new /etc/resolv.conf gets copied into the chroot): - systemctl restart systemd-resolved - systemctl restart postfix + systemctl restart systemd-resolved + systemctl restart postfix I am not sure if this could be considered a Postfix bug as well (it could consider a SERVFAIL on a TLSA record the same as a negative), but surely it seems to me the systemd-resolved stub resolver should not return the SERVFAIL here.
