Couple of months ago sending messages and making FaceTime calls started to fail from my Mac. I never found the energy to look into this but after upgrading to Yosemite and still seeing the failures I gave up and spent some time on this.
They both started failing at the same time so I think they are somehow connected. I've gone through most of the solutions that the interwebs offer like resetting my timezone and cleaning up the ~/Library/Messages.
Today I checked the message from console as what happens when I try to send a message or initiate a Facetime call.
When I try a FaceTime call then it fails immediately and I see this in the log
FaceTime(10788) deny mach-lookup com.apple.awdd
The full log is at https://gist.github.com/toomasr/1a92803e630f34eb4fb3
And when I try to send a message I get a red exclamation mark immediately (in less than a second) and see the lines in the log

Not sure how to move on with this. Any ideas are welcome!
