I attempted an internal delivery which worked and then an external one which
also worked. But then I realized my external email message to test out this
domain was from a domain residing on the server as well. So, I attempted to
send a test email to the same domain using another email address not
associated with the server at all and got these two messages (actually one
was from a client and the second is what I received). What could be causing
a "host name lookup failure" or "unrouteable mail domain"?
Thanks!
