I am told it's running Windows 2000 DNS Server. Presumably that's Microsoft's own DNS implementation built into Windows 2000.
I'm running into the exact same problem. My dns is a Win2k server, the mail server is FBSD5.3 called kara.home.local. The dig to kara.home.local works fine, but to kara fails.(By 'sometimes' I don't mean it's non-deterministic. Every time sendmail asks for the AAAA record of an unqualified hostname, the nameserver responds with SERVFAIL.)
The consequence of this is that sendmail repeatedly defers delivery until the mail expires.
Curiously, sendmail's WorkAroundBrokenAAAA option did not help, and I don't know why. Daryl Tester suggested using a mailertable entry, and this worked.
I still don't know why WorkAroundBrokenAAAA isn't working in this case.
have you found out any more about why it's not working? I'm also curious about the entry in mailertable because my feeble attempt didn't work.
I appreciate any info you can pass on.
Thanks, Joe.
