Problem: Mail bounces to sites from one machine but not another.

I am not the one that looks after mail, and know very little about how
it actually "works", but why would mail bounce from one machine and
not another? I realize this is a general and vague question, but where
do I start looking.  

We are on ONET and mail DOES come in and DOES go out
to some addresses but not all. I realize that some bouncing is due to
machines down and/or bad addresses but not this much!  Is there files
kept on each machine of the address or routes to certain "key" sites. The reason
I ask this is because of groups like comp.mail.maps, comp.mail.headers(?).

Anyways, I any pointers/suggestions are welcome.
