When I see subject lines like this, the first thing I think of is "DNS". Since you have been working on DNS at the time, I'd bet any money that you've done something wrong. Try this: # nslookup Default Server: localhost.lemis.com Address: 127.0.0.1 > localhost Server: localhost.lemis.com Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: localhost.lemis.com Address: 127.0.0.1 > 127.1 Server: localhost.lemis.com Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: localhost.lemis.com Address: 127.0.0.1 You won't get lemis.com, of course, but the rest should look the same.
