qmail-queue creates the local and remote recipient envelope addresses in
/var/qmail/queue/local/0..23/nnnnn
/var/qmail/queue/remote/0..23/nnnnn
The format of these files is:
Tto@someuser\0Tto@someotheruser\0Tyet@anotheruser\0\0
when qmail-send successfully delivers one of these messages, it marks
the relevant recipent as delivered by replacing the 'T' with a 'D'.
So, if the messages had been successfully sent to both
to@someuser and yet@anotheruser, but not to to@someotheruser, the file
would look like:
Dto@someuser\0Tto@someotheruser\0Dyet@anotheruser\0\0
So, in your case, as the file is in the local part of the queue I can only
assume that both domain.com and machine_name.com are both local delivery
domains and that the first recipient has been delivered successfully,
but the second recipient has been deferred or delivery has not been
attempted yet.
There are many reasons for the deferral. Obvious reasons include group
and/or other write permissions on the user's home directory and/or
.qmail file. Whatever the reason, they'll be mentioned in the qmail
logs.
What do the logs say (TM)?
