Ok I tried again and this what I got when a performed an nslookup on for pcisys.net on
216.229.33.250
pcisys.net A 216.229.32.173
pcisys.net MX 10 mail.pcisys.net
pcisys.net MX 20 smtp1.pcisys.net
pcisys.net MX 20 smtp2.pcisys.net
pcisys.net NS ns1.pcisys.net
pcisys.net NS ns2.pcisys.net
pcisys.net NS jerry.pcisys.net
pcisys.net NS ns1.pcisys.net
pcisys.net NS ns2.pcisys.net
pcisys.net NS jerry.pcisys.net
mail.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.173
smtp1.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.178
smtp2.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.146
ns1.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.170
ns2.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.166
jerry.pcisys.net A 207.76.102.251
A reverse lookup gives me.
250.33.229.216.in-addr.arpa PTR marsha-216-229-33-250.pcisys.net
33.229.216.in-addr.arpa NS ns1.pcisys.net
33.229.216.in-addr.arpa NS ns2.pcisys.net
33.229.216.in-addr.arpa NS jerry.pcisys.net
ns1.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.170
ns2.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.166
jerry.pcisys.net A 216.229.32.170
What happens if you try one of the name servers listed above?
I'm guessing that you Suse config is identical to the RH config.

pcisys.net uses 216.229.32.173 as their mail server. Their DNS server is
216.229.33.250.
If I try to dig or nslookup "pcisys.net" I get a "connection timed out.
no servers could be reached" message.
