It remains a mystery.

I guess. At least it's working. Actually, at one point I will be
migrating another two domains over to this same MTA, so I will have
the opportunity to test things once again.

When I do, I don't think I'll be able to make the DNS change so far in
advance, but honestly, that was never an issue: the two MTAs that I
tested with both use name servers that are slaves for the zone in
question. Among these servers, the updates propagate very quickly
indeed. My apologies if you feel I should have mentioned this earlier.

Actually, my own server config is almost identical.
