Mail going to Internet

If a user sends mail to another internally but uses their internet address (user1/notesdomain sends to user2/notesdomain, but addresses it as user2@Idomain.com)the mailserver sends the mail out to the external SMTP host and it then gets passed back in again. I am fairly sure that it never used to do this, and simply interpreted the address and delivered it without going to the internet.

This causes problems as we use an external spam checker, which blocks mail coming from the internet with our domain as the sender (as a lot of spam/virus mail does this)

Any ideas to what I may have inadvertantly changed?
