I hate to ask this since so many people have asked the same question before
and there are so many answers to the problem, but I've spent days on this
and nothing seems to work and I'm afraid that I'm going to make it
unfixable. It probably doesn't that I'm sitting in a lounge trying to
administer it remotely and it's really difficult to concentrate.

Basically, the local (ns)domain works fine and mail makes it through. I get
the error message from the virtual domains which share the same IP as my
primary (ns) domain.

If someone could take a look at it and see where I'm being an idiot, I'd
really appreciate it.
