Thanks for your reply Ray. I can send mail from an internal host, using address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to an external host and it arrives. I cannot collect mail from qmail, whether sent from internally or externally.

The DYNDNS service I use says not to include MX entries if you only have one IP address.
