It looks like DNS is down for the box.

Outside world can resolve it, but it can't resolve the rest of the world.

Or so I thought.  Something is not happy.  And I don't know
what.  My log files are now filling up with messages of
failed email.  Each of the files /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.info
/var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/syslog are getting
the same messages

I'm not finding these messages very helpful in knowing
what the problem is.  In order to stop the log files from filling
up / I've stopped nullmailer.  But I would prefer to know
what it was complaining about.
