Postfix — Host or domain name not found

1 min readMar 25, 2013
After installing Postfix on my new Ubuntu server and try sending an email with:
echo “Hello there” | sendmail myname@company.com
There is no new mail both in my Inbox or Spam. A quick check on the log file.
cat /var/log/mail.log
I got (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=company.com type=MX: Host not found, try again).
If this happened you can:
cp /etc/resolv.con /etc/spool/postfix/etc
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Have fun!
