Okay, understood. I'm able to resolve that IP, though:

$ host 209.16.192.170
170.192.16.209.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer Lanyon.com.

The postfix resolv.conf is the same as the one in /etc.

Yes, thought of that too, but agree that is not an ideal solution.

Could there be another cause?

Thanks,
