You'd need to tell us the output of the following commands: cat /etc/resolv.conf host -t mx gmail.com (or whatever domain you're sending to) host -t mx gmail.com 208.67.220.220 (using OpenDNS instead of your own DNS server) For reference, this is what I get: ch...@rocio(bbackupquery)$ host -t mx gmail.com 208.67.220.220 Using domain server: Name: 208.67.220.220 Address: 208.67.220.220#53 Aliases: gmail.com mail is handled by 30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. gmail.com mail is handled by 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
