I'd like to thank you guys in advance for helping me with this. Please note
that if you check up on ryanmarsh.com it's DNS is in the process of being
migrated. The DNS on my network shows it being hosted by me (so in this
case, for all intents and purposes it is). The DNS host registered with
internic is different though. It will remain this way until I get qmail
working. In the mean time butterflysoft.org is being hosted by me but no one
can get mail because of this problem. My DNS server is 24.221.171.160.
I'm sure that none of this has anything to do with local delivery though.

defaultdelivery: I have no idea what this file does.
My qmail rc file says:
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"
and defaultdelivery says:
./Mailbox splogger qmail
