I'm still not sure if this is a legitimate question or just an excuse to mimic
an annoying little dog.  Anywho...

I'm trying to remember from way back when I first set up my qmail box at
home, but I believe this should fix it:

echo javelintech.com > /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain

If not, give me a yell back.  There are some other possible culprits.
Actually, the best fix would be to get a DNS entry for chalupa.
