That works fine for me. I had a look on the link you suggest below but
my resolv.conf is already configured as suggested, and this does not
resolve the problem. I can add some details:
my server is behind a firewall (modem router), I use DynDNS. So, the IP
address of my smtp server is local. But I have no problem with all the
other services : my /etc/hosts is used locally. The DNS server is not 
used on my server (my modem is my local DNS server - proxy)
So the problem remains on the "direct" smtp delivery. Any other idea?
