SMTP server discovered that it is supposed to send the message to
local server -- a big nono..
Usually this is due to the host being on some MX-list, or some peculiar
alias, and the router does not know to handle also the name in question.

A message that had slipped thru the router to the scheduler does
keep its old (possibly errorneous) processing specifications, until
it expires..
I suggest the expiration/error delivery did happen to it.
