Look at the logs on somedomain.com, hosteddomain.com, and if possible
someotherdomain.com.  Post relevant snippets.  Same with the .forward on
someotherdomain.com.  My ESP is owrking poorly today, so I don't whether
the mail got to someotherdomain.com, or is still on somedomain.com, or
if it failed along the way, or what.
