You got me confused here. I thought that TRACE was valid only
between Domino servers, so what good would that do for internet
(SMTP) mail? Try "trace ibm.com" as an example, you won't get
connected.

I'd rather recommend "dig" as a powerful DNS query utility; it has
replaced the former quasi standard tool "nslookup". The "dig" binary
can be found in SuSE's bind utility RPMs, i.e. bind9-utils. Besides,
knowing your own domain's MX has nothing to do with sending mail to
a foreign domain.

Sorry, but you're mixing up a lot of things here, and what you're
telling is sometimes wrong, sometimes misleading.

You don't need the name servers responsible for your domain (the
sender's domain) to send mail to a remote domain (the recipient's
domain). Domino only needs access to any arbitrary DNS resolver
which can answer an MX type query for the target domain. And what
you definitely don't need are any DNS server entries in the Domino
Directory.
