do you see the correct queries coming in? - as far as I can tell - after you said, that using an external record makes everything work correctly - it seems that postfix gets a wrong answer when looking up the A/AAAA record for mail.example.co.uk (or it makes the error of doing an MX lookup- which I think is even more unlikely as all domains are configured equally)

carefully going through the verbose logs of postfix might also help

as would a complete comparison of the configs of node1 and one of your other nodes ....

I appreciate your continued support.

> do you see the correct queries coming in?

I'm not too familiar with Unbond, however, this is what I see in debug mode.

If I 1) do a (dig mx mail.example.com @Localhost) I see this in the Unbond logs;

Code: 
example.co.uk.    IN    MX
example.co.uk.    3600    IN    MX    0 example-co-uk.mail.protection.outlook.com.

And I see the correct output from dig:

Code: 
root@node4:~# dig mx example.co.uk @127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.16.48-Debian <<>> mx example.co.uk @127.0.0.1

If I 2) tail to Unbond longs and grep for the domain I see this:

I'm not really sure where to go with this.

Not found anything as yet

We did this earlier, I provided a sdiff from node1 and node2, they all stock apart from that one line.
