Hi
Thru the tutorial i have setup webcyradmin, postfix and Cyrus as mail
components. Without any problem i can send emails to the defined users
in the domains i have specified in webcyradmin. However if i want to
send an email to my hotmail account i get the following entry in the
mail log.

Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

clearly hotmail.com can be found, but not by postfix
What and where and how do i need to modify to enable postfix to find
hotmail?
If at all possible i do not want the smtp server from my ISP as a smart
host. I have read somewhere that postfix is able to send a message
directly to the smtp server of the recipient.
DNS appears to work properly but postfix does not seem to use it.
I do not run postfix ch rooted. Is that a recuirement?
Does SuSE version matter to run postfix? Like in suse 9.0 postfix does
not use dns or hosts or named or resolv.conf or ns switch.conf or named
. But suse 9.3 or higher postfix does us all of the aforementioned?
Any suggestions in using the speedtouch 510 adsl modem for my dedicated
adsl connection?
Any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Peter Thesing
