Hi,

The dnslookups are done by:

dnslookup:
   debug_print = "R: dnslookup for $local_part@$domain"
   driver = dnslookup
   domains = ! +local_domains
   transport = remote_smtp
   same_domain_copy_routing = yes
   # ignore private rfc1918 and APIPA addresses
   ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 192.168.0.0/16 :\
                         172.16.0.0/12 : 10.0.0.0/8 : 169.254.0.0/16 :\
                         255.255.255.255
   no_more


However I was not the one who has set it up, but now I have to
reconfig it. So how do I change that so that it will work for *@..
