Ah, now I can.   Your DNS details have been recently entered, which
means that they'll take a while to propagate round the rest of the Net.
But if dig can see onetwosnap.com from the mail server and yet Postfix
reports DNS errors then the mail server isn't set up properly.

One think that occurs to me is that Postfix runs some services within a
chroot jail, with their own copies of resolv.conf and other
files from /etc.  It'll be somewhere like /var/spool/postfix/etc.  Check
Postfix's own copy of resolv.conf to see that it is the same as
/etc/resolv.conf.  They may have become out of sync if you installed
postfix before configuring your system.
