I just had exactly the same problem, took about an hour to find the problem. Just before the problem first appears i remounted /var with the noexec flag. Remounting without this flag solved the problem. I hope this information helped you. cu Korbi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Postfix DNS-problem
I had this problem a few weeks ago. I don't know exactly why it was happen. My solution (it worked for me): $ rm -rf /var/spool/postfix $ apt-get --reinstall install postfix I didn't find the error, so i reinstall postfix. I know it isn't the best solution, but it work :-) El jue, 30-09-2004 a las 16:32 +0200, Florian Rossol escribió: > On Wed, Sep 29, 2004 at 09:45:03PM +0200, Emmanuel Lacour wrote: > > Maybe your postfix is chrooted (in /var/spool/postfix) and maybe the > > /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf is not up to date with your > > /etc/resolv.conf? > > No, it isn't chrooted.

Not sure if this is your problem, but if Postfix is running chroot'ed then it might be getting different configuration information for DNS resolution. --cro

Postfix DNS-problem
Hi, I have trouble setting up Postfix (2.1.4-5) sending mail (receiving mail works fine) on an up to date sarge system. I have no local DNS-server running on that machine. DNS queries with dig or host works fine! My Problem: When I try to send mail with Postfix (i.e. to [EMAIL PROTECTED]), Postfix starts a correct DNS-query for the MX-Record of web.de. (I have done a tcpdump to verify that). Postfix also gets the correct answer (mx-ha01.web.de in this example). But than postfix didn't start a DNS-query for the A-Record of the MX-Host (as I can see in the output from tcpdump). Instead Postfix writes to syslog: Sep 28 17:34:56 host postfix/smtp[12455]: warning: no MX host for web.de has a valid A record Why can Postfix start an correct DNS-query for the MX-Record but isn't going to ask the DNS-server for the A-Record of the MX-Host?
