Hey Nick,

Result of the netstat command after I entered the line you recommended in my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file:


I entered the line at the end of the file. I first included the hashtag mark at the end of the line, like you depicted. There were no other lines that included 'local'. Even so, I still have the same error, popping up when using the dig -t command, but with an added error message:
. I then included the port number 53 after the hashtag and got this error message:
. Then I removed the number 53 and the hashtag. Success!
. Still no response when sending the email check-auth@verifier.port25.com though.

Any rate, any sent mail using office@lgechurch.email as the reply to and from email address winds up in my Google spam folder still. What a pain in the butt.
