I have a situation which may be off-topic, and if so, I apologize. We have
been beating heads on walls for some time now with this one....
We have a Windows NT network, on which we have a RedHat 6.2 box named
woodstock in the domain ced-concord.com to host our intranet. Everything
seemed to be working fine, until a simple form mailer stopped working. The
form still works and generates the mail, but the mail gets deferred. I am
getting a message "host name lookup failure" on each piece of mail generated
by the form. Additionally, if I try to use the KDE mail client, I get the
same problem. (Mail is queued, but never delivered). It gets interesting
here.... If I use PINE and specify mail.ced-concord.com as the smtp server,
mail goes through with no problem, yet I still get the host name lookup
failure message. My question is this: can anyone point me in the correct
direction? I have looked extensively at all of the setups for networking and
sendmail, and I am at the end of my limited knowledge. I have included a
couple of entries from maillog to illustrate. Any and all help would be
greatly appreciated.
Here is an entry that is deferred in the queue:
