And, in fact, looking up navy.mil returns nothing:

This looks to me like an ordinary resolving problem which is not connected to
courier. Check the contents in /etc/resolv.conf, maybe you want to enter
another nameserver there.
Checking other .mil addresses does yield similar results, with the
exception of usmc.mil:
13:06:29 smj@thoth:~ --> host navy.mil
13:06:33 smj@thoth:~ --> host army.mil
13:06:36 smj@thoth:~ --> host af.mil
13:06:41 smj@thoth:~ --> host usmc.mil
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
What bothers me is that I've tried this from different servers in
different geographical locations (using different DNS services) and have
gotten the same results. What also bothers me is that the free mail
services I've tried (gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail) can send email to
navy.mil just fine. This leads me to believe that something must be
wrong on my end.
