Thanks. The relevant part of the resulting log is for a similar message and the same network is: 13:34:13 2071 --------> smarthost router <-------- 13:34:13 2071 local_part=xxxxxx domain=adam.com.au 13:34:13 2071 checking domains 13:34:13 2071 cached no match for +local_domains 13:34:13 2071 cached lookup data = NULL 13:34:13 2071 adam.com.au in "! +local_domains"? yes (end of list) 13:34:13 2071 ┌considering: R: smarthost for $local_part@$domain 13:34:13 2071 ├──expanding: R: smarthost for $local_part@$domain 13:34:13 2071 └─────result: R: smarthost for xxx...@adam.com.au 13:34:13 2071 R: smarthost for xxx...@adam.com.au 13:34:13 2071 calling smarthost router 13:34:13 2071 smarthost router called for xxx...@adam.com.au 13:34:13 2071 domain = adam.com.au 13:34:13 2071 route_item = * smtp.gmail.com::587 byname 13:34:13 2071 adam.com.au in "*"? yes (matched "*") 13:34:13 2071 original list of hosts = 'smtp.gmail.com::587' options = 'byname' 13:34:13 2071 expanded list of hosts = 'smtp.gmail.com::587' options = 'byname' 13:34:13 2071 set transport remote_smtp_smarthost 13:34:13 2071 finding IP address for smtp.gmail.com:587 13:34:13 2071 host=smtp.gmail.com port=587 13:34:13 2071 calling host_find_byname 13:34:13 2071 Coerced resolver DNSSEC support on. 13:34:24 2071 gethostbyname2(af=inet6) returned 1 (HOST_NOT_FOUND) 13:34:35 2071 gethostbyname2(af=inet) returned 1 (HOST_NOT_FOUND) 13:34:35 2071 no IP address found for host smtp.gmail.com 13:34:35 2071 LOG: host_lookup_failed MAIN 13:34:35 2071 no IP address found for host smtp.gmail.com 13:34:35 2071 host_find_failed ignored every host 13:34:35 2071 smarthost router: defer for xxx...@adam.com.au 13:34:35 2071 message: lookup failed for all hosts in smarthost router: host_find_failed=ignore host_all_ignored=defer 13:34:35 2071 added retry item for R:adam.com.au: errno=-1 more_errno=0 flags=0 13:34:35 2071 post-process xxx...@adam.com.au (1) 13:34:35 2071 LOG: MAIN 13:34:35 2071 == xxx...@adam.com.au R=smarthost defer (-1): lookup failed for all hosts in smarthost router: host_find_failed=ignore host_all_ignored=defer So gethostbyname2 fails. But if I write a simple C application that calls gethostbyname2 using the AF_INET flag (this is not an IPv6 network anyway) I get a valid and correct IP address. The host command gives similar results (and also returns an IPv6 address). I can keep on running exim -qf and the look up never seems to succeed until I switch to a different network. So, I still don't understand why everything else seems to be able to resolve the IP address, but not Exim.
