Since a dig/nslookup alway work, try configure xmail to use the same = dns server as dig/nslookup use to resolve (normaly your local dns server or = your isp dns server). Use smartdnshost entry in server.tab to specify the = dns server to use. This will resolve your problem on 99% cases.
I noticed this problem with xmail internal resolver then letting it do = by itself Then I "smardnshost"ed xmail, then all run fine ...
