I don't think this is the problem but it was interesting to me and may shed
some light for you.  I had a fair amount of difficulty with email on my
RaQ2 in the beginning. Couldn't seem to get ANY mail through.  After
tinkering a while, I I discovered that I could get mail through if I used
the RaQ as my SMTP.  I thought it had something to do with the relay
feature.  However, I eventually learned that my local ISP automatically
adds "mail" to their relay.
So, while I might be sending a test message to ebryan@xxxxxxxxxxxx it was
being addressed to ebryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  I know this ISP is relatively
small (I live in the boonies) but they say this practice is fairly
widespread.  So now I have gone back and, in the DNS section, added an
address record that points mail.domain.com to IP whatever and things work
just fine.
