Oh, qmail, I don't really know how they work
for me the best and the easiest are postfix,

Perhaps someone else could help you about qmail

You can force qmail to use your host file, just install dnsmasq,
move your resolv.conf to resolv.orig.conf
and create this one:

search jasoncarson.ca
nameserver 127.0.0.1

in your dnsmasq.conf:
resolv-file=/etc/resolv.orig.conf

now qmail if they use the dns system, will see properly your host file

could you give a piece of your host file ?
any 127.0.0.1 line, and any 66.11.182.5 line ?
