It would only be "normal behavior" if your DNS is messed up. That would be the first place that I checked.

I have noticed on several installations (most of them with dial-up connection to the ISP) that if I configure outbound mail to use DNS, it fails to resolve the host name of the destination domains. In this case, I am forced to forward all mail to the ISP's SMTP server. Is this a normal behavior? Is there a workaround to avoid it?
