I've now done both.
My split-horizon DNS sits on the office LAN.
So on the office postfix server on the lan, I already have
host 10.1.0.17
7.0.1.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer relaymx.MYDOMAIN.com.
Adding the 'quick fix' on the VPS, since I don't have it reach back over the
VPN to the internal DNS,
cat /etc/hosts
+ 10.1.0.17 relaymx.MYDOMAIN.com
But I still get that
"unknown [10.1.0.17]"
Like you said, since mail's flowing, I'm lucky ... but I prefer your "safe
choice" of getting it right.
What else might I have missed?
