Probably my ISP uses several aliases as mail.tin.it or mail.clubnet.tin.it...
I guess I have not the needed tech-basis to teach DNS problems to my ISP.

I'm using fetchmail that poll tin.it via POP3,then fetchmail passes
mail to qmail (now via tcp port 25 SMTP)

That network is not reachable directly from INTERNET but
only via AMPRNET by gateways and ip/ip encap mechanism
for the amateur radio network.
(permissions are not granted in ITALY to use amprnet address on INTERNET)
I have 2 regular domain registerd on ucsd.edu:
ik5bcu.ampr.org and sys2.ik5bcu.ampr.org.

Yes,on "b" I have qmail and fetchmail and this is not
a FQDN, while "a" is LAN connected.
