        Are you sure you are specifying the correct SMTP destination host. 
Could your company have a machine explicitly for inbound email, and 
then /that/ machine delivers to the inside work machines.

        You've been hiding the actual destination address so none of us is 
able to examine the situation. What happens if you use your destination 
address as part of a DNS MX record look-up? You may need to send to one 
of the MX hosts.
