Package: postfix Version: 3.7.6-0+deb12u2 Severity: important When sending a mail to some @helpdesk.inria.fr address, postfix tries to connect to helpdesk.inria.fr (which does not have a MX) instead of using the MX of the parent domain inria.fr:
Nov 21 15:43:26 joooj postfix/smtp[748304]: D1A104A9: to=<[...]@helpdesk.inria.fr>, relay=none, delay=76462, delays=76431/0.1/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to helpdesk.inria.fr[128.93.128.88]:25: Connection timed out) Some admin at Inria tells me that this is incorrect and that postfix should connect to the MX of the parent domain in such a case.
