I have a similar problem on a RAQ4 - the only answers I can find are related to the relay from not existing in the mail setting - which for my domain, it is.

My issue:
domain name: cobizbrokers.com
namesservers on 2 different RAQ, NOT the machine hosting the site - the domain cobizbrokers.com is in the "Relay for the following Hosts/Domains" box, and www.cobizbrokers.com is listed in the "Host/Domain Aliases" box.  The MX points to www.cobizbokers.com and apart from there being no reverse on the the IP this site uses, I can't think of another reason.  Ideas gratefully accepted!
