This means that the recipient address was rejected by reject_unauth_destination in smtpd_recipient_restrictions. If you're the MX for that recipient domain and want the address to be accepted, the domain must be defined in any one of the several address class definitions, and the address must be valid in the recipient maps for that class. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html#classes (Before reading on: I think the above is what you needed. The following is for completeness, but probably not relevant to your particular situation.) If you had intended for it to be relayed to a domain hosted elsewhere, the client must be allowed to relay. If it's a static IP address under your control, listing it in mynetworks might be appropriate: http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html#relay_from If not, you should set up SASL AUTH and configure your client accordingly: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#server_sasl > >> error.

No, the relevant portion of the log file would include the ENTIRE Postfix logging for a single message which shows the issue. A grep excerpt is usually not enough. 3. Munging your domain names can make it impossible to solve mail routing problems. And if you must mung, do not use a real domain as an example, use example.{com,net,org,...}. 4. I have a personal limit of one pastebin URL per problem. If you are seeking free help on the Internet, make it easy for the helpers. -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
