As you can see in the title there's soemthing wrong with the DNS. It doesn't matter if I use an external DNS or the one on the openwrt machine, I still get the same error and don't know how to debug this. The dns seems to work perfectly ok with nslookup. Thankful for help, /Magnus H

How can I debug it? What do you mean by "DNS name record", is it the A or NS record? Is it the lookup of the receiving SMTP server that fails? HELP!
