I think I figured out the problem. I'm running the lyris listserv on
the same system as qmail. I have the qmail smtp daemon listening on
one IP address, and the lyris daemon listening on another.
Apparently, qmail-remote complains if it looks up a destination host
address and discovers that it is one of the IPs assigned to the host
on which qmail-remote is running. The workaround is to add an entry
to smtproutes that maps the host name to an IP address.
