I think the comment should be read as "that explains the failure of the

Why the DNS queries are blocked from my mail server remains a mystery,
but it is a fact that they are.
I could/should update that machine, in case there is something in my
whole setup that is a reason, but right now I can't really understand
what that would be...
If I explicitly give the IP address of ns1.protonmail.ch as the name
server, I do get a response. Not sure if it might in the end be some
other name server that is refusing me, and I don't really feel like
trying to figure out where things are going wrong right now.
But maybe updating my system will help. We'll see. Something I'll try in
the next day or two.

Why would that explain the failure to answer DNS queries? DNS servers are supposed to
answer queries from everyone. I've never heard of failing to do so. FWIW, I just
tried asking ns1.protonmail.ch about mail.protonmail.ch, and it was happy to answer me (to
my random Comcast client addresses, IPv4 and IPv6 both work).
