It's working fine here (on two different networks, albeit both AT&T netblocks).

The same query here hangs, but if I try it again, I get an answer right away
(which means that it was cached by my other query). That's why your dnsmx
worked right away, because the previous query had eventually succeeded (but
probably after qpsmtpd had timed out).
If you want to really see what is going on, get a copy of dnstracer here:
http://www.mavetju.org/unix/general.php
and do the following query from the root servers.
$ dnstracer -oq mx -s . newsletter.nectar.com
You'll see that something very weird is going on with that domain; are you
responsible for it? All of these servers are very slow responding:
ns1.data-link.co.uk
ns2.data-link.co.uk
ns0.centri.net
and this host:
bb1dns1.tdc.dartmail.net
is listed as authoritative for nectar.com but it doesn't have an address itself.
There is major dainbramage in the delegation for that domain...
Plus, notice anything weird here?
$ dnsmx cwjobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper04.totaljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper05.totaljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper08.totaljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper09.totljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper10.totaljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper06.totaljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper07.totaljobsmail.co.uk
1 gatekeeper03.totaljobsmail.co.uk
Don't assume the plugin is bad based on these two domains, that's for sure...
