After a system crash qmail thinks one of my domains isn't local

SacAutos

Regular Pleskian
To make a long story short, after the server was rebooted the users of one of the domains began to complain that they couldn't send or receive emails. To sort things out, I created a test email box under their domain. I then tried to send an email to that box and got it bounced back with an error: 554 Error: too many hops.

I've looked at all the control files for qmail and couldn't find anything unusual. After a lot of searching, I took a look at /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog, searching for what qmail said about my message that got rejected.

What I found was that qmail saw my message and attempted to start delivery to that email address as a remote user. So, for whatever reason, qmail now thinks that one specific domain isn't local for email.

Does anybody know what control file or database entry I have to massage to get qmail to think that my domain is local again??
