Yeah.  I'm confused.  From my logs:

2005-01-20 11:31:25 1CrfDD-0005Up-Jc ** [email protected] R=send_to_mail
T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT 
TO:<[email protected]>:
host 68.22.80.4 [68.22.80.4]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]> is not a valid
mailbox

2005-01-20 04:07:42 no host name found for IP address 211.177.0.31

I recently started running Vexim so I used some of their configs.  I'll 
have to
go over them again and see if I missed something.
