The server runs no DNS server itself.

I ran  dig www.google.it @213.179.193.200 (ie the complete real IP of
my primary dns server as listed in /etc/resolv.conf) and this is the
result:
[root at vps728 ~]# dig www.google.it @213.179.193.200

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> www.google.it @213.179.193.200
; (1 server found)

as far as the queue goes, it was empty. I run postsuper -d ALL and
postuper -d ALL deferred, just in case, but no change

Thanks,
Marco
