OK, Robert, here's the deal.
1. A message sent directly to robert@[yourdomain].com.au ... I'm keeping
the real name of [yourdomain] confidential at your request ... appears from
this end to go out. It's not in the mailq on my MTA server.
2. If I telnet to the MTA actually running at [yourdomain].com.au, I appear
to be able to send a message from here to robert@[yourdomain].com.au .
You might let me know which, if either, of those messages actually arrives.
But ...
3. If I run the command "host -t MX [yourdomain].com.au", I get 3 results,
none of which is the server [yourdomain].com.au ... all 3 are
[something].iinet.net.au ... your ISP, I assume. This means that ordinary
off-site e-mail will be sent to one of those servers, not yours. Only God
and your ISP know what happens to it after that. This is probably your problem.
