Ah, come on!
I get:
Network check failed -- IP address associated with host name 'z9m9z.htt-consult.com' is '127.0.0.1'
Um, yes in /etc/hosts I do have this entry. and /etc/host.conf does have: order hosts,bind
But this system is my primary domain server for htt-consult.com (well it wil be when I finish the scalix install). And nslookup has NO trouble doing the resolv right.
I guess I will have to change the order in hosts.conf.
But somehow that does not seem right.
