Relaying Denied - Shouldn't Be

I have about 7 domains on my server. Each domain has a lot of forwarding addresses:
name@domain3.com -> realname@realdomain.com

These are listed in my virtusertable, which is automatically "compiled" every time a change is made to it, so the virtusertable.db file is always up-to-date.

Now, I have a couple domains that work fine with this method, and mail is successfully forwarded to the real addresses. However, I have one domain in particular that doesn't want to work (there may be others that just haven't been tested yet). Whenever I have any forwarding address like:
gr8gonzo@domain4.com -> greengonzo@aol.com

...Sendmail will just reject the e-mail saying relaying denied. Here's the entry from the maillog:

Apr 17 08:56:12 cartman sendmail[69176]: g3HFtqt69176: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<gr8gonzo@domain4.com>, relay=mx0.maildomain.net [123.123.123.123], reject=550 5.7.1 <gr8gonzo@domain4.com>... Relaying denied

(Obviously I did some replacing of the info, but nothing that would really change the functionality of the entry)

Now, why is this happening? I'm using Sendmail 8.11.1 and I have all the domains listed in my /etc/mail/local-host-names file... I'm confused...
