Telnet from the Avamar utility node to the SMTP server reports a lookup failure:

admin@hostname:~/#: telnet smtp-name.domain.com 25
telnet: smtp-name.domain.com: Name or service not known
smtp-name.domain.com: Host name lookup failure
admin@hostname:~/#:

admin@hostname:~/#: cat /etc/resolv.conf

search Domain-Name.com

Running nslookup resolves 7 IPs for the smtp host and 3 DNS servers:

admin@hostname:~/#: nslookup smtp-name.domain.com

Notice how the only DNS server which is able to resolve the hostname of the smtp server is the last server entry in the resolve.conf file.

nameserver 10.x.x.46
