i'm a freaking moron.
for some reason, i was convinced that rcpthosts held the domains that could
send mail to the mail server. rather, it holds the domains that the mail
server will accept mail for.
i guess "rcpt" stands for "recipient".
thanks for putting up with silliness. i'm just an scm pretending to be a
system administrator. ;-)
