Just a quickie: It looks like genx doesn't know what to do with mail
that is addressed to (someone)@nspco.com.  Try adding nspco.com to the
entry for polaris in genx's /etc/hosts. So you'd have at least the
following two lines:

 [genx's ip address] genx.nspco.com genx
 [polaris' ip address] polaris.nspco.com polaris nspco.com
