I can't just delete their MX record, or they'll end up getting no
email at all.
Are you suggesting that there's no way to stop the Raq from
intercepting mail for a domain that it hosts?

lets assume the raq server's domain ip is 111.111.111.111 and the
outside mail server's is 222.222.222.222

This is how the dns is set up, from the zone file the raq
created:

mail.domain.com.au.	in	a	222.222.222.222
domain.com.au.	in	mx	30 mail.domain.com.au.
domain.com.au.	in	a	111.111.111.111
www.domain.com.au.	in	a	111.111.111.111

There are also PTR records for domain.com and mail.domain.com
(although I don't think the latter is completely necessary, it
was just something I tried to see if it might work). I still
can't seem to stop the raq from attempting local delivery if it
does happen to get an email for this domain sent through it.
Email sent from other servers seems to go to the right server.

I'm suspecting something may be awry with the DNS, but I'm no
expert, and the RAQs interface makes it even harder to see
exactly what is going on, as I'm more familiar with editing the
zone files directly. Can anyone see anything missing from the
zone file that I should create an .include entry for?
