Did you change any DNS settings ? I had (and have...) the same problem
after having changed the subnet for the RaQ.

I had 

	"mail.domain.tld" setup as MX, and 

an A entry 

	"mail.domain.tld" --> IP


for it. 

I setup "www.domain.tld" as a CNAME instead, and had the same recursion
errors, as the dam%&# RaQ rewrites 

        "user@xxxxxxxxxx" --> "user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
                                    ^^^

Have not delt with that before, as I use exim on Debian normally.

I deleted the CNAME, added an A record instead, and the messages
stopped, except for one domain, and I can`t imagine why...

BTW : did I mention that the GUI introduced syntax errors in
/etc/named.conf ?
