I think there is some confusion here Robin... The DNS that is broken is NOT the DNS entries for your domains... it's the DNS client on your mail server. Log onto your mail server and try this command: dig mx google.com If it takes a long time to reply, or says no servers could be reached,

From what I have experienced, aliases in QMail Toaster are handled in the vpopmail user database, not with the .qmail files... Again, from what I understand, the configuration in QMT is that Qmail hands the message off to vpopmail for delivery, bypassing the .qmail files for user directories.
