Ho hum ...
Convenient to blame a temp net error for the first dns related error I've
seen in ages, right after testing your new dns resolving code. Coincidence
maybe.
This is going nowhere - end thread. :-(
Question: how many other MTAs do their own DNS lookups ?
Do they use the OS resolver setting ?
What is the benefit of Xmail doing the dns resolution entirely by
itself?
Rob :-)

I had no problems in sending to that domain, and in general I had no
problems whatsoever so far with it.
You didn't try to resend to that domain, did you? You probably hit a
temporary network problem, you saw the message XMail generated, and you
posted to the mailing list. Why it is more rare that you see this using a
'named' resolver? Because 'named' caches *everything*, so it is easier
that temporary network problems end up being hidden by its caching.
