"host map: lookup (domain): deferred". This Sendmail error--also seen as "Transient parse error -- message queued
for future delivery" or "Name server: domain: hostnot found"--indicates that Sendmail encountered a problem with
one of its DNS resource record lookups of the destination domain.
Starting with Sendmail 8.12, Sendmail queries the following 3 DNS resource records in order:
AAAA (IPv6 address records; not applicable if you compiled Sendmail without IPv6 support)
A
MX
The proper name server response for a resource record for which it is authoritative but has no data would be "NOERROR"
with an empty answer section as seen below:
With Sendmail 8.12.x, you can ignore AAAA "SERVFAIL" or "NXDOMAIN" errors and continue DNS processing with
the following entry in your macro configuration (.mc) file:
define(`confBIND_OPTS', `WorkAroundBrokenAAAA')dnl
對應到Sendmail的設定是：
# vi /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
找到下面這一行，確定沒有被註解
O ResolverOptions=WorkAroundBrokenAAAA
若有修改的話，restart sendmail以生效，sendmail就會忽略dig xxx.xxx aaaa回應的錯誤(對方的DNS server設定有誤)
However, if the A or MX record lookup for the domain returns a "SERVFAIL," Sendmail will queue the message, believing
it has encountered a transient DNS problem. For example, if a domain has a valid A record but returns a "SERVFAIL" when
queried for an MX record (instead of "NOERROR" with an empty answer section), Sendmail will queue the message.
You should contact the remote name server administrator in order to fix these problems.
(所以當發生dns查不到時，要使用dig來檢測，查看其status為何，是SERVFAIL/NXDOMAIN等，看看是否是對方的DNS
主機發生問題)
To watch Sendmail's DNS queries when processing a queued message, use the -d8.8 debug syntax:
