Good. A nameserver. ;)

SNIP valid result. It apparently works.

This was unnecessary, my fault. Apologies. My request should have been
for hotmail. Thanks for realizing my mistake. (I always mix those two up
-- giant free email service that causes lotsa problems).

This result is what I expected. hotmail intentionally keeps their MX
response to under 512 bytes to avoid problems with, e.g., qmail. Your
recursive resolver appears to provide the same additionals as a direct
query to hotmail's ns (dnscache does not, which was why I asked for the
dnsq output).
So, now that Greg has his domains straight, we've proven that:
1. Your server successfully looks up hotmail's MX records.
2. The patch to qmail was unnecessary (but should not be a problem).
Odd. Can we please get:
qmail-showctl
(unedited, please)
and some log file snippets, from mail creation/injection to delivery
attempt, of a failed hotmail delivery?
