Subject: Blocking access to UDP port 53 (DNS)

Does anyone know how to block the use of a DNS server (udp port 53) from outside, but still have external mail be able to resolve addresses?

Here is what I tried ( xxx.xxx.xxx.0 is our external net that the dns server is on)

iptables -A INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 -p udp -j LOG --log-prefix "XXX LOCAL UDP DNS  XXX  "
iptables -A INPUT -s xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24 -p udp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -j LOG --log-prefix "XXX INPUT UDP LOG-drop XXX  "
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -j DROP

DNS requests from our machines works with the rules above, but here is the message a remote system gets when someone mails us: 

Aug 11 10:33:52 remotemachine sendmail[16732]: h7BFVAAR016730: to=<len@machine.ourdomain.com>, ctladdr=<someone@their.domain.com> (0/0), delay=00:01:49, xdelay=00:01:49, mailer=esmtp, pri=30344, relay=machine.ourdomain.com., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Name server: machine.ourdomain.com.: host name lookup failure
