The problem is, a site already exists with that name, most of your mail
is happily being bounced from it.  Unless you are using FQDN's your uucp
mail and anything else addressed to just 'void' is bouncing off of the
machine 'void.lonestar.org' or just 'void' as the uucp maps know it. 

Easy solution, change your servers name or use FQDNs from now on.
