The resolution was an MX entry in the DNS. Mail was being handled by the server locally instead of remotely so mail going to a local address (that didn't exist locally) was not forwarded to the proper mail server. In this case, we use mailhop.org for mail relay to an exchange server. No valid email addresses are located on the local mail server, which the web server is configured by default to direct mail to (the local mail.domain.com POP/SMTP). Hopefully this clarifies it.
