Email issues with MediaTemple hosting

[eluser]doubleplusgood[/eluser]
Hi there,

I have a website hosted with MediaTemple that has a CI contact form. I've noticed that when I set the 'to' address as one of the domain email accounts, the enquiry from the contact form is never received.

I know that the form definitely works, because when i change the 'to' address to a non-domain related email address, such as a gmail account - the enquiry from the contact form is received.

Wondered if anyone else had experienced this problem?

My Contact controller is here (Note: I'm using the constants.php file to set SITE_EMAIL and SITE_TITLE);

Code:

function send()
{
    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    // field name, error message, validation rules
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('first_name', 'First Name', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('last_name', 'Last Name', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('company', 'Company', 'trim|xss_clean');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email Address', 'trim|required|valid_email');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('telephone', 'Telephone', 'trim|xss_clean');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('enquiry', 'Enquiry', 'trim|required');

    if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
    {
        $view_data['title'] = "Contact";
        $view_data['body'] = "contact";
        $view_data['view_file'] = 'contact/index';
        $this->load->view('layouts/layout', $view_data);
    }
    else
    {
        // validation has passed. Now send the email
        $title = $this->input->post('title');
        $firstname = $this->input->post('first_name');
        $lastname = $this->input->post('last_name');
        $company = $this->input->post('company');
        $email = $this->input->post('email');
        $telephone = $this->input->post('telephone');
        $enquiry = $this->input->post('enquiry');
        
        $data['title']=$title;
        $data['firstname']=$firstname;
        $data['lastname']=$lastname;
        $data['company']=$company;
        $data['email']=$email;
        $data['telephone']=$telephone;
        $data['enquiry']=$enquiry;
        $message=$this->load->view('messaging/contact',$data,true);

        $this->load->library('email');
        $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html';
        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
        

        $this->email->initialize($config);

        $this->email->from($email);
        $this->email->to(SITE_EMAIL, SITE_TITLE);
        $this->email->subject('Enquiry');        
        $this->email->message($message);

        if($this->email->send())
        {
            $this->session->set_flashdata('message', "Thank you for contacting us. We will reply to your enquiry within 24 hours.");
            redirect('contact/index');

        }

        else
        {
            $this->session->set_flashdata('message', "Something went wrong. Please try again.");
            redirect('contact/index');
        }            
    }
}
