With point 3 the mail should be fowarded to our site mailserver which has the access to do the lookups, but it looks as thou my sun box is doing it rather than just forwarding on. How do I tell it to just forward on?

Yes, solve DNS issue there. Are you sure that your system know what is the IP of mail exchanger of yyyy.com ? Are you sure that your system asks DNS server that knows the answer ? Try nslookup and type yyyy.com for example.
