This was a coincidence. rcpthosts and morercpthosts have nothing to do with
this error. Those files are consulted *only* by qmail-smtpd, and only when it's
deciding to accept or reject a RCPT TO address during the SMTP conversation.
The above error message is generated by qmail-send, after qmail-smtpd has
already queued the message and died.
My guess is that you added an entry to locals or virtualdomains and didn't HUP
or restart qmail-send. At some time in the course of screwing with your
rcpthosts files you restarted qmail, so that your locals/virtualdomains changes
took effect and things started working again.
