One of my mail servers is reporting some weird stuff=2E It appears to be
unable to resolve hostnames but in reality it is=2E=2E=2E??

=20

Here is an example from one of the emails being sent out when I flush the
queue with =96v -q:

=20

"Deferred: Name server: mx1=2Ehotmail=2Ecom=2E: host name lookup failure"

=20

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

=20

mail# dig mx1=2Ehotmail=2Ecom

=20

; <<>> DiG 8=2E3 <<>> mx1=2Ehotmail=2Ecom
