I have tried changing it to an A record, but it didn't fix the problem. The 
setup is now this:

#dig -tmx localnet
;; ANSWER SECTION:
localnet.               86400   IN      MX      20 
mail.webtechservices.com.au.

#dig -ta mail.webtechservices.com.au
;; ANSWER SECTION:
mail.webtechservices.com.au. 86309 IN   A       220.245.210.97

...and exim -d -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] still gives:

dnslookup router called for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  domain = localnet
DNS lookup of localnet (MX) gave HOST_NOT_FOUND
returning DNS_NOMATCH
<snip>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is undeliverable:
  Unrouteable address

If dig on the same machine can get the MX, why can't exim?

My apologies about the hidden network info... it's a habit I picked up from 
the OpenSwan mailing lists.
