Hmm, could you try toby@localnet. (with a . at the end)? I think
perhaps something is trying to qualify the domain because it consists
of a single label, and then failing.

I must add to that, that I just tried this using your nameservers in
my resolv.conf on a clean debian vm and the following resulted:

dnslookup router called for toby@localnet
domain = localnet
DNS lookup of localnet (MX) succeeded
DNS lookup of mail.webtechservices.com.au (AAAA) gave NO_DATA
returning DNS_NODATA
DNS lookup of mail.webtechservices.com.au (A) succeeded
220.245.210.97 in "0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 192.168.0.0/16 :
172.16.0.0/12 : 10.0.0.0/8 : 169.254.0.0/16"? no (end of list)
fully qualified name = localnet
host_find_bydns yield = HOST_FOUND (2); returned hosts:
mail.webtechservices.com.au 220.245.210.97 MX=20
