All I have is multiple CNAME delays. There is no message explicitly
stating that the mail has been rejected. The error within the headers
of the e-mail says that it simply isn't going to keep trying, that it
has been in the queue too long. I can't find anything like that
phraseology in any of the /var/log/qmail/send files. And I'd rather
not try to post what I have find, as it would take me a good chunk of
time to sanitize the material for open posting. I'll send it to you
individually, if you think that might help you help me, Erik.

That is not a problem with qmail, having multiple ip addresses in an A
record is allowed. Could you please post the send log where the mail
is rejected?
