Continuation of my other mail:

In the 10 minutes since I typed this in, the problem seems to
have automagically cleared up. Or rather,
host cam.ac.uk
now returns
There is an entry for this host, but it doesn't have an Internet address.
However, host -t mx cam.ac.uk now returns the correct mx records.
(Earlier, ie before March 10, the -t mx was never necessary.)
Moreover, the mail queue is now clearing, so it seems qmail is
getting the mx records properly.
I don't know whether this is normal behaviour now... but at least
the machine is working. I'd still like to hear any
clarifications.
Thanks
Rahul.
