Why am I seeing the error "Deferred: Name server: host name lookup failure"?

Category: Troubleshooting

Solution ID: 00000214

Summary:

Why am I seeing the error "Deferred: Name server: host name lookup failure" on messages stuck in the mail queue?

Answer:

This error message occurs when PerfectMail is unable to resolve the domain name of the sending e-mail address in DNS. Most often this occurs when spammers make up ficticious domain names when sending spam.

However, in rare circumstances this can also signal a problem with your local DNS resolution. DNS resolution is required for e-mail analysis and delivery, so there may be a problem affecting your e-mail flow. To see the validation error report go to the "Reports > Server Status" page and look at all of the validation results. There will be lines for each DNS server saying "Querying DNS server" with the results.

Try the following:
1) Reboot your local DNS Server
2) Restart your MTA using the PerfectMail Dashboard

After restarting these services go to the web administrator interface "Tools > DNS Lookup" page. Enter the IP address of the questionable DNS server and lookup names for domains that you would not normally see. The idea is to try and find domain names that would nor normally be cached on your DNS server.

Sometimes we see DNS servers misbehave when performing new lookups. When this happens DNS lookups for cached entries appear to work fine, but new lookups appear to fail. Restarting DNS services appears to fix this problem in the short term.

Stick to a small yet stately earring and a cocktail ring, and
maintain further sparkle to a minimal.

Keep in thoughts that many websites allow you to filter attire by
color, silhouette, length, and neckline.

You've doubtless been by the bride's aspect serving to, planning, and lending invaluable recommendation along the way in which.

Mother of the bride attire need not feel frumpy or overly conservative!

You don't should purchase a mother-of-the-bride dress if the thought of it sitting untouched in your closet after the massive day is
unappealing.

Add a metallic heeled sandal or pump and also you're good to go.

But for others, it’s restrictive, it feels too formal, and sometimes, it finally ends up being rather costly too.

This mother chose a royal blue robe with an phantasm neckline and a floral overlay for a
striking big-day look.
