Use of nslookup is deprecated <sp?>. Use dig instead:
$ dig +notcp hotmail.com. -t MX

Possibly. I get a MSG SIZE of 491 on this UDP query. When I do a TCP
query, on the other hand, I get:
$ dig +tcp hotmail.com. -t M

Not being familiar enough with DNS protocols or qmail's inner DNS
workings, all I can really say is that it works fine for me; but I have
the big-dns patch applied.
