If memory serves, I think "unknown" just means that it couldn't get a verified DNS name. Postfix attempts to check IP->name (PTR record) and then name->IP (A record) to see if it matches. > I've seen this regarding other users and these users are vaild user and > the mail does not get through.

I have my doubts, but that's not really relevant right now. Relay access denied generally means that postfix doesn't think it should be handling mail for that domain/address, AND the client isn't get a free pass (eg. by being localhost). That changes if you've specified iinet.net.au as a relay_domain, but when you do this, you also need to setup relay_recipient_maps (http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relay_recipient_maps). If you've done that and it's still not working then you'll need to show us the output of `postconf -n`, and ideally the contents of your relay_domains map. As a note, adding iinet.net.au to your transport_maps won't be that helpful, unless you have a specific path in mind that doesn't involve sending mail to their designated MXes.
