Brandon,

  Check the virtusertable, access, etc (all tables in /etc/mail) and compare 
"that" domain against a known working domain.  Generally I find that is where 
the "error" is when I end up with something like this (most often my typo 
somewhere along the line).  Unix tends to be "picky" about the name being 
spelled exactly the same in all locations.....  No, I am not being snide, 
just providing insight from my experience - I transposed two letters in a 
"security-key" today and took a whole network down for about 30 minutes.  
Took three of us looking it over multiple times before it was "noticed" that 
in a fairly long keystring that "s19" and "s91" are not the same...
