All alternate names for the local host must be listed at
the $MAILVAR/db/localnames -database.
That means, in addition to "si-star1.si-star.com", there
must be an entry for "si-star.com" as well.
A quick lookup of the DNS tells me:
$ dig mx si-star1.si-star.com
; <<>> DiG 2.1 <<>> mx si-star1.si-star.com
;; ANSWERS:
si-star1.si-star.com. 259200 MX 10 si-star1.si-star.com.si-star.com.
It looks like somebody who wrote the MX entry did not add trailing
dot (".") at the end of the name, and thus current $ORIGIN got appended.
Correct formats for the entry are:
si-star1 IN MX 10 si-star1
IN A 165.227.61.241
si-star.si-star.com. IN MX 10 si-star1.si-star.com.
IN A 165.227.61.241

Yep, check your DNS datasets at first.
