Package: postfix Version: 2.2.3-3 Severity: important After upgrading to the latest available packages from testing, our Postfix installation no longer appears to be reading /etc/hosts for hostnames specified in 'transport'.
With any transport entries to a hostname, eg. smtp:smtp.local.mydomain.com where smtp.local.mydomain.com is only listed in /etc/hosts the messages are bounced, stating host not found. As soon as this is converted to an IP address in brackets, it begins to work normally again. /var/spool/postfix/etc/hosts and /etc/hosts are identical, host lookups are working fine on the rest of the box so i'm confident it's nothing to do with /etc/host.conf or /etc/nsswitch.conf - so i'm at a loss! This was working fine immediately prior to the apt-get upgrade.
