Avoid postfix mail delivery issues on a roving Mac
Authored by: stefanr on Jun 17, '05 08:19:26AM

I noticed another type of problem using the PostFix method. This problem occured to me when I was sending a lot of consecutive e-mail responses and that I did not notice that I had lost my internet connection.

If I am not connected to any network, (no internet connection) Mail sends my mail anyways without prompting me that a connection was not done. In the logs (viewed in Console) this message appears:
(Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=mydomian.ca type=MX: Host not found, try again)

But in Mail, the message was sent successfully...

Does anyone know a way to make Mail notice that Postfix was not able to send?

I am on a LAN with my Powerbook and I can reproduce this everytime I unplug the Ethernet cable.

Does anyone know a fix for this?
