From having a quick read of your website, it looks like your
/var/qmail/control/validrcptto.cdb database is not updated with a list
of local users.
In your smtp run script, the following relates:
VALIDRCPTTO_CDB="$VQ/control/validrcptto.cdb"
VALIDRCPTTO_LIMIT=10
VALIDRCPTTO_LOG=2
Perhaps disable it, or update it:
cd /var/qmail/control
mkvalidrcptto -c validrcptto.cdb
more info at http://qmail.jms1.net/scripts/mkvalidrcptto.shtml
Hope this helps.
