I have set up a Postfix Mailserver, outgoing
mail is being sent through a smarthost/relayhost which requires authentification. That works great, internal clients can send to foreign recipients though this relayhost.
However, when an external
mail for a local, non-existent user arrives at the server, postfix tries to send a non-delivery notification to the sender. This
mail is also sent through the relayhost obviously, but it fails with error 554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied
This gets logged to the
mail.log:

According to this error, I suppose that postfix does not login at the relayhost when sending those bounces. Why? Normal outgoing
mail works just fine.
This is how my main.cf looks like: http://pastebin.com/Uu1Dryxy
And of course /etc/postfix/sasl_password contains the correct credentials for the relayhost.
Thanks in advance!
