Hi.

The problem occur when i change the IP for the server. Then when i look at the /etc/resolv.conf it was using an old IP. so i change it and everrythings fine.
 
The problem occurs because there's no running caching nameserver listed in the /etc/resolv.conf file. The nameservers to list are different for everyone, depending on what nameservers your upstream tells you to use.

I recently got same problem. I went to openDNS and put that DNS in and seems to took out the differ (-1) problem when sending from webmail of server.
 
Unless you become a member of OpenDNS and set your preferences, you may find you're getting a redirect IP# when the domain doesn't exist.
