All features and functions of Moodle are operative however email cannot be sent or received. My previous experience with Moodle sites has not relied on this DNS service and I have no idea what influence their operation has on the handling of email.

Are you sure your ISP isn't blocking port 25, which could effectively prevent your system from sending or receiving mail directly? Internode, for example, blocks port 25 by default, but there's an option to disable this on their Web site.
