I realize this, and this makes it odd. But I can't even issue the RCPT TO:
command because the MAIL FROM: line is rejected.

Delegation is not the problem. I've done testing by simply telneting
directly to the smtp port, and issuing the SMTP commands. It will not
accept any mail from a domain that is not in local-host-names. Its as if
its not querying the DNS servers. But the resolvers working, And
everything seems to be setup correctly.
I've monitored traffic with tcpdump and it is talking to the nameserver
when specifying the MAIL FROM: line, and the domain exists and MX records
setup and it works fine on my non debian servers, but it still says
"Unrecognized host name nistix.com".
So I'm now out of ideas...
