HA!

I found it!

I started reading PLUG to clear my head and NOT think about my mail
problem and I read the thread about mail to uce at ftc.gov not going through
properly... and then y'all go on to talk about the output for `host -t mx`
for the domain.

So I check the MX records on these domains, and SURE ENOUGH, the failing
domain has the wrong mail exchanger... and the MX host is a hostname that
resolves to the right address on my network, but not to the outside world!

I'm SURE that's going to solve it.

Is this going to take time to propogate?
