When your message fails delivery from afar, what is the error that you get
back? Make sure that the domain name is entered into the "Local Mail
Domains" section of the Mail Routing in PO (System Config).
If the remote system you're using to test mail delivery is unix or NT based,
type in the following at a unix / NT command prompt:
nslookup
set querytype=mx
virtualhost.com (whatever it is)
exit
Make sure the MX records it shows are actually pointing to the mail server.
