The DNS mx records for cinemastudies.org and tcf.ua.edu must both point to your mailserver. Your Mailserver must have both domains setup as local names (/etc/mail/local-host-names -- or something like that). You might also want to put the domain names in your /etc/mail/access file with the keyword allow.
