/var/qmail/bin/config regenerates 'locals', adding the back-resolvings of the IPs of the machine's interfaces. For this reason, it doesn't add linux.org.il. Then it blindly copies 'locals' over 'rcpthosts'. This 'config' utility also misconfigures some other things so we'd better just avoid running it at all. I ran 'config' by mistake while I was trying to stop the double bounces from arriving to me. Later I found out how to disable double bounces. The issue is solved now.
