Not really. Mail to bovik at dsm.fordham.edu will be routed to the MX at
dsm.dsm.fordham.edu, but the envelope will still be to
bovik at dsm.fordham.edu.

And what changed between yesterday and today in the sendmail
configuration on dsm.dsm.fordham.edu or elsewhere in your network?

This is really a sendmail question. It is a bit puzzling because if you
are sending from dsm.dsm.fordham.edu, the MTA apparently knows how to
deliver to test at dsm.fordham.edu, but if you are sending from another
machine in your network, delivery fails.

Note however that I just sent a test message to
test-request at dsm.fordham.edu, and it was delivered via
dsm.dsm.fordham.edu, and Mailman replied. Thus, my best guess,
assuming it still doesn't work for you, is that for some reason, other
machines on your network don't relay mail to test at dsm.fordham.edu via
dsm.dsm.fordham.edu.
