well, someone must eventually accept mail for kjeller.aarrestad.com
if you want it to work. So, it should be in the local_domains on the
machine that accept eventually mail, and since the are no MXs for
that, it must be on kjeller.aarrestad.com itself.
That I would say is the prob.

it does not need to be a hostname, it just needs to have an MX and it has.
It might have been created in the past twenty minutes of course.
