you should have 10.0.0. in /etc/tcp.smtp regardless of whether dns works or not. also,
until you get dns working for the internal computers, you can either:
1. set up the netbios portion of samba on the qmail box.
2. set up a wins server (if you have a spare NT server)
3. add 'mail.whatever.domain qmail.internal.ip.address' to c:\windows\hosts (plain
text) either manually, with a batch file or as part of a logon script for the client
machines.
