One of my mail servers is reporting some weird stuff. It appears to be
unable to resolve hostnames but in reality it is...??

 

Here is an example from one of the emails being sent out when I flush the
queue with –v -q:

 

"Deferred: Name server: mx1.hotmail.com.: host name lookup failure"

 

But when I do a dig on mx1 I get this:

 

mail# dig mx1.hotmail.com

 

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> mx1.hotmail.com
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

Can anyone tell me what is going on?

 

Thanks,

JB
