send mail local vs remote

I'm stuck and hoping a friend can help me out.

Two of the domains on my Plesk server have the website hosted locally with me, but their e-mail is hosted on another server. I thought I had all DNS setup correctly to process e-mail. Which, seems to work fine if you e-mail from any third party e-mail provider to the client. The e-mail finds the correct mail server.

But, if I use a simple form mailer on the server, or if I login to the webmail and send either of these two domains an e-mail it fails to look off of my server. The qmail log shows an entry like, Oct 18 13:37:54 server1 qmail: 1318959474.649401 starting delivery 70237: msg 8306691 to local 100-ajanedoe@thedomainname.com

I need the server to look remotely to find these e-mail addresses. Any idea where I can change that setting for a specific domain?

Thanks,

Fix

DNS mail.thedomain.com - other IP
Remove all domain instances in var/qmail/control and the mailname folders.
