You have DNS issues.  Out of the three nameservers delegated to handle
hopto.org (nf[1-3].no-ip.com), only nf3.no-ip.com has an entry to
subdelegate DNS for hopto.org to ns[1-2].ravy.com.  And even then, neither
of them have any zones for hopto.org.

The reason that you can send mail locally on gc-site.hopto.org is just
that... it's local.  The MTA should always (unless configured otherwise)
attempt local delivery before reverting to MX.
