I have an extremely similar setup.
My router is called NS1.DOMAIN.COM because my primary nameserver is behind
it.
The mail server is also behind it on 192.168.0.x and has the name
MAIL.DOMAIN.COM
The MX record is for MAIL.DOMAIN.COM is the same IP as NS1.DOMAIN.COM in my
zone files.

I am no expert but I just looked and you have no MX record set.
I saw someone else say all you need was an A record but I don't see how mail
can arrive at your server without an MX record.
I guess I will ask that question on the DNS list if nobody answers. (or look
up what an A record is heh )

I did a ./config-fast mail.domain.com in the qmail source dir and mine works
great.
I hope this helps
