Pierre, On my laptop, exim/minires has transient DNS lookup problems when I'm VPN-ed into my company's network, but does not exhibit this behavior when I'm directly connected to it.
When VPN-ed, I get errors like the following: 2003-09-12 15:07:36 HL47SO-00014S-5P <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=(tishlerjason.bar.foo.com) [127.0.0.1] P=smtp S=882 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-09-12 15:08:01 HL47SO-00014S-5P == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=send_to_gateway defer (-36): host lookup for smtp.foo.com did not complete (DNS timeout?) However, if I run the following: $ exim -qqff then the mail is successfully sent: 2003-09-12 15:08:12 Start queue run: pid=2500 -qqff 2003-09-12 15:08:13 HL47SO-00014S-5P => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=send_to_gateway T=remote_smtp H=smtp.foo.com [XX.XX.XX.XX] 2003-09-12 15:08:13 HL47SO-00014S-5P Completed 2003-09-12 15:08:13 End queue run: pid=2500 -qqff I can also workaround the problem by creating an /etc/resolv.conf file. Any ideas on how to further debug this problem?
