ok i have been doing networking, dns, mail etc postfix for over 22 years
mainly on freebsd running an isp.
not saying i dont have anything further to learn (in fact that is an
ongoing daily experience today) but would appreciate an explination ??
I am not eager - just trying to help based on what was provided.

if i can please get an explanition on what triggered this comment then
please advise - ie regarding unbound (i presume)
given the info to date the person having the issues very much revolves
around dns and the outside setup appears to be valid pointing to the
inside being the issue on why postfix is not resolving stuff properly.
otherwise i will be forced to keep my experience to myself.
just let me know what you want - i am good either way.
don't want to ruffle any feathers!
Happy Tuesday !!!
Thanks - paul

I was unaware of unbound dns and not really sure that would ever work on
a mail server?
even if it does elsewhere
postfix 101
postfix will always look at the resolv.conf file on a unix system.
if all you have is 127.0.0.1 (loopback) and assuming that is even
attached to unbond dns its just an added layer that is not nessesary and
in my opinion introduse resolving issues which you do seem to be having.
my final suggestion would be to correct the resolv.conf file which is
what all unix software goes to when using an internal dns system call.
ie the c libraries that compile postfix (and everything else) will try
to use the internal dns function calls which would always go back to
/etc/resolv.conf
resolv.conf needs to point to valid dns servers (8.8.8.8 for example)
or to your own bind dns server running on the system.
these are the standard's on anything unix based.
if you really need to run unbound then i suggest that you contact there
tech support or community as it is clearly a factor in your issues.
hope this helps.
