update: My original finding was incorrect.
It seems like some domains will accept the message and the log file says
the message was accepted but still not deliver it local. While other
domains it will just reject the message. But it seems to be an issue with
any username that has a - in it. I'm still trying to find out when it
accpets mail without delivering it and when it rejects mail.
