I set up a hostmaster instead of postmaster just a typo

The 2nd problem is that ldap lookups are timing out - how high is the load on this server? We've seen this when the host is overloaded, at times.

not loaded very little activity and ample hardware 1200Mhz CPU 700Mb RAM

The main problem, however, seems to be DNS - it appears that your host can't find a valid MX record for hotmail.com, and is refusing the message (a retryable error - 4xx error codes are non-fatal)
DNS is working fine and i can find hotmail.com without error see below
[rmvg@mx1 ~]$ nslookup hotmail.com
Server: 64.59.135.133
Address: 64.59.135.133#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: hotmail.com
Address: 64.4.33.7
Name: hotmail.com
Address: 64.4.32.7

My /etc/hosts file reads like this

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
68.146.204.153 mx1.canmail.org mx1

Do i need to add a line for canmail.org because that is what i have called my server?
Do i need an interal address line like

192.168.0.100 canmail.org

I am stuck any ideas???
