Strange Mail behaviour

Hi All,
    I have just set up a new RH7.0 server on a dedicated phone line and I am
experiencing some strange behaviour with mail. I have set up a number of
users in the usual way. I can log into their accounts. I can send mail from
them to the outside (my other account at home). I can send mail to the
outside (again my other account) from these accounts. I CANNOT send mail To
these accounts FROM these accounts...Even root bounces. The bounce message
is below, only the identity of the system etc. has been masked for security
reasons, otherwise it is exactly as sent. (If I have left some identifying
evidence, PLEASE let me know as it is a VERY sensitive site, and they will
not be pleased).

    From looking at the logs, obviously there are some problems, but I don't
know what they mean or how to fix them. It looks as though it would be
simple to fix as it is probably something trivial I have forgotten. I really
NEED to get this site up by the weekend so your help would be much
appreciated. I noticed that there were a FEW changes in RH7.0 and these
changes have also thrown me a bit, but I live and learn.

    Cheers!
        Andrew.
