Re: dns for qmail only??
Thanks Jeff. I'll check into it. For now I was able to solve the problem, with help from another user, by putting the ip addr of the new qmail server in the /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file. Now the old machine just dumps all mail to the new machine and lets it sort it out.

You need to run a separate DNS server for internal queries, that's how I have my DNS set up. We use a separate DNS server for the internal addresses and we don't have any problems. qmail ignores /etc/hosts, it needs a DNS server.
