Hi all,

Whilst watching exim logs scroll past on an MTA of my acquaintance, I  
saw this:

2008-09-17 01:48:03 H=(felix.hopcount.ca) [204.152.186.101] sender  
verify defer for <nanog-bounces at nanog.org>: host lookup did not complete
2008-09-17 01:48:03 H=(felix.hopcount.ca) [204.152.186.101] F=<nanog-bounces at nanog.org 
 > temporarily rejected RCPT <mjabhop at monster.hopcount.ca>: Could not  
complete sender verify

which made me scratch my chin. The box in question is running unbound  
1.0.2, installed on FreeBSD 7.0 from ports, and /etc/resolv.conf  
contains "nameserver 127.0.0.1". On the box in question, on an empty  
cache:

[monster:~]% dig @127.0.0.1 nanog.org soa +short
dns.merit.net. dns.merit.net. 2008090300 28800 14400 2419200 14400
[monster:~]%

and

[monster:~]% dig @127.0.0.1 nanog.org ns +short
dns1.merit.net.
dns2.merit.net.
dns3.merit.net.
[monster:~]%

and other such things are wonderful and as expected, but

[monster:~]% dig @127.0.0.1 nanog.org mx

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2 <<>> @127.0.0.1 nanog.org mx
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[monster:~]%

fails, consistently. BIND9 resolvers on the same network have no such  
problem:

[calamari:~]% dig @127.0.0.1 version.bind ch txt +short
"9.4.2-P2"
[calamari:~]% dig @127.0.0.1 nanog.org mx

Something seems to be going on. Unbound is logging nothing to syslog  
(but daemon.* is definitely being recorded; I've tested using  
logger(1)). I am short on ideas of other ways to gather data and  
figure out what is going on.

Any ideas?
