Question about relay-domains file

I placed several addresses in the /etc/mail/relay-domains file. All
work except 1. The address that does not work is in the form of
123ABC.com. All the ones that work do not begin with numeric
characters. So, I am thinking there is a trick needed to get this
address to work correctly. Can someone please show me how this trick
is done?

-Many thanks

There is no trick. Post log entries for the message failing to "work".

Which log would I need to post from? I am still a relative novice at
Unix/Aix.

The mail log.

To locate it you need to identify where your syslog daemon's
configuration is held. This will probably be in /etc and historically
was called syslog.conf. To find the relevant file do:

find /etc -name "syslog*.conf" -print

Now you need to find where mail related entries are written. Replace
/etc/syslog.conf below with the path found above:

grep mail /etc/syslog.conf

Alternatively, find your sysadmin and ask them :)
