Are there any log entries for the messages in question? If not, they
are not reaching your server.

I believe you are essentially correct in your estimation, if I
understand you correctly. Read the man page for qmail-send for a more
detailed breakdown. Also check out this flowchart:

If, and thats a big 'if', your description is including all the relevant
information, it sounds like it may be a DNS related problem. What do
the logs on the machine you are sending mail FROM indicate? And please
post the entire output of qmail-showctl and redescribe your tests using
actual info, not fake domains.
