I thought SERVFAIL meant that it could not reach your DNS server What do you have in /etc/nsswitch.conf ?

Have you added a reverse PTR into your DNS ?

Well the NXDOMAIN error would suggest that there is no PTR record. Does dig show the record ?
Code:
dig - x 192.168.0.17

Okay, so give this a try and change in /etc/resolv.conf
Code:
search thecornbread.com theclarks.cc

that gives me:
Code:
administrator@mailer:~$ host `hostname`
mailer.thecornbread.com has address 192.168.0.17
mailer.thecornbread.com mail is handled by 10 mailer.thecornbread.com.
but zmcontrol status still shows:
Code:
Host mailer.thecornbread.com
	antispam                Running
	antivirus               Running
	ldap                    Running
	logger                  Stopped
		logmysql.server is not running
	mailbox                 Stopped
		zmmailboxdctl is not running.
	mta                     Running
	snmp                    Running
