You probably need to add 'list.scansoft.com' into you
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file. Also... if i'm thinking right you
need to add it to /var/qmail/control/locals too. After that send a
SIGHUP to the qmail-send process and it should work fine.
Looking at your DNS everything seems ok... but i might be missing
something.....
