No, it can see DNS - on the mail server, which is running dnsmasq.  But
surely that will simply look things up - it wouldn't supply the name of
a relay machine, other than the mail-hub it's been told to use.

Or is this an MX problem ?  Is the old server asking the DNS for an MX
record and being directed to the ISP's mail-backup server rather than
coming straight through to the new mail server ?
