Well, I just sent a test to nobody@earthlink, and qmail .92 just reported:
Feb 11 10:30:51 6C:ns1 qmail: starting delivery 3107: msg 25324 to remote nobody@earthlink.net Feb 11 10:31:23 6C:ns1 qmail: delivery 3107: success: 204.119.177.99_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_HAA10180_Message_accepted_for_delivery/ Feb 11 10:31:23 6C:ns1 qmail: end msg 25324
So if it is a qmail problem, it's not a longstanding one. Otherwise, are you running a current version of BIND?

Hi,
I did the same test (mail to nobody@earthlink.net) and got the same result:
Feb 11 15:40:46 sppc17 qmail: 855675646.524185 starting delivery 351: msg 125325 to remote nobody@earthlink.net Feb 11 15:41:28 sppc17 qmail: 855675688.111252 delivery 351: success: 204.250.46.33_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_HAA03958_Message_accepted _for_delivery/ Feb 11 15:41:28 sppc17 qmail: 855675688.111513 end msg 125325
I'm using qmail-0.96.
