1) PLEASE don't "make up names". This makes it impossible to e.g.
track down problems with DNS for the people on the list.
2) Are you sure the zone files are authoritative? If there is a mistake
and you took the above lines from the zone file it may not reflect
the situation as in DNS. Same if you forgot to increment the serial.
3) Are you sure the setup with a lower prio MX is true (and WAS!!!)
at the moment qmail received the mail. Note that there are some
delays in DNS when updating DNS zones due to caching.
4) We have a setup like yours for some thousand domains and it works
perfectly for nearly two years (without having the domains in
smtproutes)
5) rcpthosts only tells qmail-smtpd which domains are allowed as
destination addresses in the envelope. It has nothing to do with
the error messages you get.
Local testing is perfect, as your problem is with further delivery
of the email and in that case (once it's on your system) rcpthosts
doesn't matter any longer.
