The last time I had this same error it turned out that it was broken routers/hosts upstream from me that was setting the DF bit. I just dropped the MTU on the qmail box and all was sweet again. Since then I have put in a new IOS on the cisco router and I now remove the DF bit at the border.
May not be your problem but would still be worth checking.
