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.
