I apologize for my error in not providing the actual logs. I had thought I
did provide enough detailed information. I am very sorry for my error in
judgement.
However, it appears that my problem may have been that I was using the
system name only, not the FQDN. I would like to thank everyone for their
rapid responses.

Jamin. When someone comes to you with a problem, what's the first thing
you do? Do you perchance ask for exact evidence to help you narrow down
the possibilities? Do you perchance want to see the output of what happened?
Do
you perchance want to dive into log files to see what the system was doing?
Do you
perchance want to see exactly what they've done so you can try to reproduce
it?
Guess what? People on this list are no better than you. We need actually
real-life
examples and actual real-life log file entries to understand the problem. So
how
about showing us the bounces (with headers) and the associated log file
entries?
Regards.
