Truely Weird Problem

I am setting up an e-mail flow from a Microsloth Exchange server to my
local Linux machine. I can send e-mail out with sendmail (8.9.3), but I
cannot receive. From another Linux machine, I tried sending a test
message, and I got a Hostname Lookup Failure in the log. Nslookup knows
my IP (both forward and reverse), and I can ping my hostname. This
problem seems to be across the board on all UNIX and NT systems (I
eventually got a return message from exchange stating the same error
when I tried to send e-mail from MS to [user at hostname.domain.com]),
and the AIX machines have the 'smarthost" parameter used to send e-mail
to the Exchange box. It is almost like sendmail is not even trying DNS
before failing. What am I missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated
