Thanks,
First, I don't know that the DNS server is the problem. I have
caching DNS on the mailserver itself and it seems to work OK. I'm
wondering if Net::DNS isn't working properly? It wasn't installed by
default, so I used CPAN to get the latest version. How does a person
go about testing it?
For the local.cf settings, my local.cf file seems pretty inocuous:
#
# rewrite_subject 0
# report_safe 1
# trusted_networks 212.17.35.
# Bayesian Auto Learn
auto_learn 1
# Safe Reporting
safe_reporting 0
# Full/Terse Reporting
use_terse_report 0
# Subject Tag
subject_tag *** Warning: Junk Mail ***
# Rewrite the Subject
rewrite_subject 0
# Use Bayesian Filtering
use_bayes 1
# OK locals
ok_locales en
# OK languages
ok_languages en fr de ja
# Required hits to be marked as spam
required_hits 5
Is that where you think the // is coming from?
Thanks,

I had a similar issue last week. I had inadvertantly set the DNS
to an internal DNS server with forwarders to the outside, rather
than to a real outside DNS server. Once I changed to a bona-fide
outside DNS provider, all my network tests worked properly.
You also need to fix those invalid settings in your local.cf,
although they are not causing the network lookup problems.
