I've included the entire bounce message below, but here is a summary.
My local server thinks it should have been the right place to deliver the
message but the domain wasn't in control/locals.
The domain in question is not ours, by a long shot. NSLOOKUP on the same
system confirms this. I am confused as to how this could have occurred, any
Ideas? Sorry to those that feel MX questions are not appropriate for this
list, but qmail seems to be miss reading MX results.
Thanks all.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ella.mills.edu.
I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
--- Below this line is the original bounce.
