I just found the cause of the problem... /etc/nsswitch.conf.

It said that files should be used before dns. After I changed the order, it 
worked (so did the strange sendmail problem I had).

But still I wonder why it worked on the other host, since it also had the 
order "files dns" in it's nsswitch.conf file...

Thanks for your support.
