What do you have in your /etc/resolv.conf?  It should probably look something
like:

	search frii.com
	nameserver 216.17.128.1
	nameserver 216.17.128.2

You can directly query those DNS servers for what they thing the mail exchanger
for nclug.org is with:

	[root at dev /root]# host -t mx nclug.org 216.17.128.1
	Using domain server 216.17.128.1:
	Host not found, try again.
	[root at dev /root]# host -t mx nclug.org 216.17.128.2
	Using domain server 216.17.128.2:
	Host not found, try again.

Hmm.  That's not good...  I'll drop them another e-mail.
