It will probably do the lookup using your isp's dns server that is provided to it through the dhcp client. The only difference between what james does and what a web browser does is the type of question. A web browser will do an 'A' lookup for a domain. James will to an 'MX' lookup for a domain, and then do 'A' lookups for the results. I would be suprised if your router didnt support 'MX' lookups. Can you send mail through the server to a different domain (or in fact any domain)? If so the router must be resolving names properly. Have you tried doing a lookup using your isp's nameserver?
