I'm running Postfix 2.6.6 on AMI Linux. The purpose of this Postfix server is to:
1) Send mail for client computers on the network.
2) Receive external email for email addresses of various usernames and domains, and forward those emails to another external email address. For example, unknown user sends an email to [email protected] and Postfix forwards it to [email protected].
#1 is working fine. However, whenever any external user sends an email to [email protected], Postfix gives a "relay access denied" message.
Here is the log:
/var/log/maillog

I've spent a number of hours troubleshooting and searching for answers, but it seems that all the previous posts I can find deal with situations that are slightly different than mine. Now I'm at a loss.
