You'd need to tell us the output of the following commands:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
host -t mx gmail.com (or whatever domain you're sending to)
host -t mx gmail.com 208.67.220.220 (using OpenDNS instead of your own DNS
server)

For reference, this is what I get:

chris@rocio(bbackupquery)$ host -t mx gmail.com 208.67.220.220
Using domain server:
Name: 208.67.220.220
Address: 208.67.220.220#53
Aliases:

gmail.com mail is handled by 30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
gmail.com mail is handled by 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.

Cheers, Chris.
