You'll have to excuse my precious message (which is currently awaiting
approval by the moderator), but I was under the impression that "dig" worked
where exim and host did not.

Anyway, I went ahead and replaced the DNS I had been using, which is the one
supplied in the "SpeedTouch Alcatel 410" cable modem. I went in and checked
the configuration, and found it was forwarding to two different IPs supplied
by my ISP. So I reactivated bind on my linux host instead, entered said IPs
as forwarders and...

nynaeve:/etc/bind# dig hotmail.com mx

; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> hotmail.com mx
