Okay, I'll try to help.

Hey, must be nice. My host is outside of the ISDN area in Boulder. :-(

Yep, me too.

I see a problem: I can't even check the bloody MX records. If I can
get them, neither can sendmail.
It looks like the nameservers for gandalf.otdc.com are ghgcorp.com and
blkbox.com, but ghgcorp.com gives back broken responses except for A
records and blkbox.com is dead.
