We have pretty strong giveaways:

- First message in this thread
  Message-ID: <174575307036.7.10251064821870280516.695497...@aleeas.com>
  From: mailinglists.accustom...@aleeas.com

  Failed to start nss-lookup.target: Operation refused [...]

- Another:
  Message-ID: <174576227925.7.18335587670536658966.695639...@aleeas.com>

  From: mailinglists.accustom...@aleeas.com
  ping: [hostname].local: Name or service not known.

  Note the ".local" domain? *If* the OP had explicitly set that
  up in a (heh) local DNS, I assume they would know. So pretty,
  pretty sure it's zeroconf/mDNS.

- another:
  Message-ID: <174576374522.6.17288671241541104876.695673...@aleeas.com>

  [hostname].local is not in /etc/hosts

  This rules out /etc/hosts: this leaves an explicitly set up DNS server
  resolving the .local domain (see above), or mDNS.

I've got no farm, but I'd be willing to bet it on that :)

Cheers
