Yes and no.

If the mailserver gets a message that is for a local user then the message
should never get 'sent out' as it will be put straight into the pop 3
account. So it should never need to connect to itself.

So lets say the mail server is on 192.168.0.2.  If it tries to connect to
192.168.0.2 it will work.  If it tries to connect to 63.215.241.205 which is
where your domain name points to, it probably wont work (i have no idea
about the router you have, but i would guess not).  Similarly outlook
running on a machine on the internal network wont be able to connect to the
name (mail.neticu.com).  Outlook on external computers will be able to
connect to mail.neticu.com provided you have port-forwarding (or whatever
your router calls it) setup on the router.

In order to get round this, set the pop3/smtp servers for the outlook
account to 192.168.0.2 for computers on your network.

Hope that helps explain the problem i think you're experiencing.

Two other things i noticed were that you dont seem to have any mx records
set up (unless they arnt listed in the portion of the no-ip settings you
sent).

You also have a lot of dns settings.  You probably dont need all of these.
As most routers act as dns servers, you can probably just use 192.168.0.1 as
a single dns server.

Can you elaborate on a workaround configuration for this routing IP dilemma?

Can mailserver's send mail to themselves inside a LAN?
