[thelist] DNS issue?

Try looking in the virtaldomains file:

5.3 How does incoming email get handled?
http://www.vmailmgr.org/docs/FAQ.html

"Incoming email is first received by the qmail SMTP daemon and inserted 
into the qmail queue. Then `qmail-send' examines the email envelope (which 
details the recipient address or addresses) to determine how to dispatch 
the message. It looks up the domain name of each recipient in 
`/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains', and prefixes the user name with the 
string that it finds. It then looks up the resulting user name in the 
system password table (or in `/var/qmail/users/cdb' if it exists) to find 
the base user name and home directory (which I will call `$HOME'). It then 
looks for the file `$HOME/.qmail-VIRTUAL'. If that's not found, it looks 
for the file `$HOME/.qmail-default', which will contain an instruction to 
pipe the message to `vdeliver'."
