Indeed. The MX record for the domain points to your host, but you have
not put the domain in local_domains, so it thinks it is a remote domain.
You have not set up a domainlist router to tell it what to do with mail
for that domain, so it goes away and looks up the MX records to find out
what to do with it - and the MX records point to the local host...

Either (a) You must make the domain local and handle it with a director;

Or     (b) You must set up some router *before* the default lookuphost 
           router (typically a domainlist router) to handle the domain.
           Check out the second-last example in the chapter on the 
           domainlist router (chapter 27).
