They keep trying to deliver the mail to a local user when the MX record for that domain points to a different machine. Here's an example: www.foo.com is a virtual host on one of our web servers. foo.com has an mx record that points to mail.via.net on the web server (www.foo.com and foo.com have IP addresses aliased to this machine) if I try to use mail to send a message to x@foo.com, it attempts to deliver locally and dies by saying that 'x' is an unknown user.
