Noel,
thanks for the suggestion, I was unfamiliar with that command. I will give
it a try next time I have this issue.
When you say "the DNS failures carry through!", are saying that postfix,
rather than trying a new DNS lookup for an email in the queue, doesn't
bother trying again and doubles down on its "DNS failure" thought?
If so, does that sound like a bug to you? It sounds like a bug to me, but
maybe there is some other issue in play which causes that behaviour to be
what is desired.
Cheers.
Jim
