Does the Raq know these domains are local?  If not, it will send the
email to the secondary MX machine, which, depending on how it's
configured, may report the user as unknown.

What happens when you try to use telnet to connect to your port 25 and
send email to the testlist address manually (see the archives for
specific exactly how to do it)?

Are there entries for testlist in /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo?

Is there an entry in /etc/mail/local-host-names for the domain name?

I'd like to see those entries to be sure <smile>.
