The DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf file are probably those of your
ISP, right? We have already seen that their MX records for your domain
are not the same as what you have on your internal DNS server. Qmail is
probably trying to find the MX records from your ISP, but the machine
isn't dialed onto the net so it fails. That is why you are seeing DNS
lookup failures. You will have to do some DNS trickery to get this
working right. Qmail is meant for well connected machines.
