So you still have the public IP address listed as your DNS server, when
127.0.0.1 is a much better choice?
In that case, you get to figure this one out, I'm done. :)

Try this, from a command prompt:
nslookup
server 66.191.47.3
www.yahoo.com
What happens? Do you see a list of IPs for www.yahoo.com, or does
something else happen? If something else happens, well, IMail won't be
able to use your DNS servers.
