It is probably so that your own box tries to deliver the message to
paslist@ultrasw.com and fails. Then it sends the failure to the sender
which in this case is waterhorse@ultrasw.com which should also fail
because it shouldn't go to the smarthost either.
Try removing the ultrasw.com from the dc_other_hostnames list.
