Here is from my configure:

receiver_verify
receiver_unqualified_hosts = *.ctd.comsat.com
sender_unqualified_hosts = *.ctd.comsat.com
sender_verify

As you see, I have receiver_unqualified_hosts set. Is it because
receiver_verify is on that this doesn't work?

Even if I set the recipient to a legal local name it still fails:
