Your server "thinks" that cityofgp.com is a "local" domain for some
reason 
and is trying to deliver to account "kpodmore" on "that" box.  Check
your 
mail configuration files (aliases, access, virtusertable, etc) and make
sure 
that this particular domain is _not_ listed there as a local hostname or
some 
such.
