I figured this one out. Just a case of lack of communication.
Apparently the client had just deployed their own server and are now hosting
their DNS and had pointed the MX record to our new mail server.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Resolving mail addresses locally
My company is in the process of migrating our clients from our old mail
server (MAIL1) to our new Imail server (MAIL2). The two are located on
different machines. Our DNS is on the same server as MAIL1.
I've added a virtual host for one of our client to MAIL2, but have not added
their users yet. The MX record for their domain still points to MAIL1.
However he received an error message from MAIL2, which I would have thought
shouldn't be talking to anyone for this account since the DNS still points
to MAIL1.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe a user that is using MAIL2 (such
as myself) is trying to send him messages and the server is trying to
resolve it locally before checking the DNS. Does anyone know if this is
correct.
Sorry if I'm being to vague here. I'm still an IMail newbie.
Thanks,
Nelson
