Hello, I have a problem with one of my servers, Suddenly i am getting a lot of "Deferred: Name server: xxx.xxx.xxx: host name lookup failure" while DNS resolving on that box is ok(from the command line de backend servers do resolve and are reachable). The mail stays in the mailqueue. This is a mailscanning server (Mailscanner/Spamassasin/Clamav), witch functions as primary mx for several domains, after receiving mail it forwards this mail to backend servers(Using mailertable: domain.com smtp:backendserver-n.xxxx.xx). Any pointers on how to debug this would be appreciated!
