I will guess that you have put otherdomain.dom in your /etc/mail/local-host-names file.
If you added {IIRC} a Cwotherdomain.dom to your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, this would explain it as well.
If you are not using sendmail, I can't help you. I work for a large ISP and Qmail just can't handle our requirements.

Well, so far the only progress I have made is determining that I somehow opened up my mailserver as an open relay....ugh! That's solved now, but still no movement on this issue as to forwarding.
The plot thickens here, because it seems that sendmail thinks it processing mail for both of my domains. (which it isn't. I have two separate mail servers) Anyway, when I sent an email from a user on my RedHat box to a user at my other domain, I get an undeliverable message. The most intriguing part of which is:
----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to [127.0.0.1]:
My RedHat machine thinks that my other domain is hosted at 127.0.0.1. This is not the case, and is not a DNS issue, b/c everything works fine at my other domain. I double checked /etc/hosts and there is no errant entry there, and a quick grep of the sendmail.cf file reveals no otherdomain.dom entries there. Any ideas here?
To recap, any mail forwarded to username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is actually delivered to username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If I send mail from the RedHat machine to a username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and that username does not exist on the redhat machine, the mail fails to be delivered. If the username does exist locally, then it is delivered to the redhat machine, NOT the other domain's mailserver. Obviously I screwed somethign up here by accidentally keying my other domain name on the redhat machine. however, I have no idea where that would be....
Thank you for any info, or tips as to where I should look for help...
