Well. I should learn to listen to my gut, and I should always remember what
Rich Miller taught... EVERY comms issue on the internet comes down to some
DNS error somewhere. :)
Thanks for the responses, gents. I ended up implementing a split-DNS, and
that resolved my issues.
qmailtoaster is awesome. Thanks for all the fantastic bells & whistles!
Cheers,

1) yep
2) /etc/resolv.conf contains valid and working nameservers. I am able to
use them to dig mx gmail.com (for example) AND use /bin/mail to deliver
mail there. I was also able to use /bin/mail to deliver mail to one of
the domains this toaster is responsible for.
I am currently operating under the theory that my hosting setup may be
causing this. I have no solid-based-in-fact reason for this, simply that
my gut says 'try this.'
External IPs are mapped 1:1 with RFC1918 IPs by my hosting provider (ie:
I have 192.168.xy, which the world sees as 128.177.xy, assuming 128.177).
I'm wondering if DNS is getting confused by the questions, or if qmail is
getting confused by the responses.
So I'm setting up bind in a split-view mode, and will see if that makes a
difference.
That said, I appreciate the response, and any others are welcome. :D
Cheers,

should be pointing me to something other than the toaster? yes? no?
thoughts? :) )
