Operating Systems AIX Not able to receive emails after job execution

the mail command didn't work - I still see in the logs "hostname lookup failure".
and it tries to resolve the wrong host - example.com. As for me it still seems like a DNS/name resolution problem. If you didn't change anything and it stopped working, ask your DNS admin.

could you also post your /etc/hosts?

Thanks much for your help

here is my hosts file entry

Code:
/etc/hosts

10.x.x.x        aixhost.domain.com
10.x.x.x        mailhost.abc.net
[aixuser@aixhost]/home/aixuser>

my aixhost and mail server are in different subnet, but it can reach.

Code:
/etc/netsvc.conf
hosts=local,bind


I think, we have added the above entry in netsvc.conf few days back. may be i need to revert and see ?

Thanks
