   ODD DNS behaviour on Pi ZERO W with Bull   
   18 Nov 25 12:08:31   
   
   From: tnp@invalid.invalid   
      
   As part of my enhancements to the home controller, I want to send email   
   warnings of low heating oil level.   
      
   So I removed exim which was too much like hard work, installed PostFix   
   and all is well...,except it isn't.   
      
   If I send a mail out of the blue after a a few hours delay, the mail   
   immediately *always* gets stuck in the queue with a message about being   
   unable to determine the IP address of the SMTP relay.   
      
   If I send another message everything Just Works, and indeed the h mail   
   queue gets flushed eventually as well with a successful delivery.   
      
   I have looked on line but not found this exact behaviour mentioned   
   anywhere..   
      
   I am not sure what is running DNS on that Zero W right now. But its   
   clo9ck is up to date with the internet...,   
      
      
      
      
   --   
   Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early   
   twenty-first century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a   
   globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and,   
   on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer   
   projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to   
   contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
