Your lookup is incorrect. The domain in question is server.cointalk.com,
not ng...@server.cointalk.com. The latter is the sender e-mail address
(localpart@domain).

The cause of the problem, however, is that there is no A record for
server.cointalk.com:

me@localhost:~ $ host server.cointalk.com
Host server.cointalk.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Postfix rejects the mail because it cannot resolve the sender domain.
