I hate to be rude, but why are you asking this (and on a Ruby mailing
list none-the-less)? This isn't a ruby question, and "Recipient
address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table" is a pretty
cut and dry answer. Make sure the mail server on your machine is
properly setup for relaying, and if until to sort that out after
checking that documentation/researching, ask the community for your
mail server.
