Not to belittle your effort, but qmail isn't the only thing that can
break under such circumstances. /Any/ app running on a server behind a
NAT box that doesn't get its own address back on a query may break when
it tries to use that address for whatever purpose.
The problem the OP faced is, strictly speaking, a DNS misconfiguration
(or lack of configuration, perhaps). I've lost count of the number of
clients who've encountered similar problems with MTAs and other apps,
that magically disappeared when I inserted a DNS map (or server, in some
case) that handed back the proper IPs.
