But if the MTA failed to look up domain.co.uk why can I dig the mx records from the CLI?

/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman should be a plain textfile and the 
/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman.db is the database version of it.

I have the text file but not the db

No such file or directory :-/

Got the db  now so that's good

Not sure about the MTA not lookup failure but I will have a dig.
