Is the host listed in /etc/hosts? What mail server are you running, and does it know it is supposed to deliver mail for that address locally? If you are using DHCP to configure your netowrk interface, then it may be that the mail server is trying to look up the hostname to send mail to using the name server(s) supplied by the router.
