It looks like the you're sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but don't have alpha.paic.com in locals on alpha (if you did,
that would mean mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered locally on the
machine alpha).
The right fix is to test by sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If your MX
records are correctly configured and you have "paic.com" in rcpthosts on
alpha, then alpha will accept the mail and attempt to deliver it to the
best-preference MX for paic.com (presumably head.paic.com).
It's probably possible to redirect mail for alpha.paic.com to
paic.com (smtproutes; I don't know if it'll redirect to the domain or just
to head.paic.com) but probably not necessary. In normal operation, you
shouldn't get people mailing to the actual host, assuming all your clients
are correctly configured to send mail as "@paic.com".
