Can you ping it under its fully-qualified domain name? i.e., as
`mail.home.com' or whatever its full name is? If so then you
need to edit resolv.conf to include home.com in your list of
search domains. Here's my own /etc/resolv.conf, you'll want to
edit it to fit your own situation:
search quux.net user.msu.edu msu.edu debian.org gnu.org
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 35.8.2.41
nameserver 35.8.2.42
