Kolab not sending External Mails

[Stephen Hind]

I have used my own internal domain: ADMIN.local!

My test account is called visionary and my fake/internal domain is called
ADMIN.local

When I try to send a mail to this address I'm using now I get the following
returned undelivered mail message:

<!-- Bounced Mail start -->
This is the Postfix program at host mail.ADMIN.local.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned
below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the message returned below.

			The Postfix program

FROM
    command)



Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.ADMIN.local

Final-Recipient: rfc822; s.hind at rwp.co.uk

Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host relay4.tcp.net.uk[195.80.0.224] said: 501

    command)
<!-- Bounced Mail end -->


If I try to send to another internet email account I have I don't get any
message bounced back and the mail never gets there, as if the mail got
dropped silently.

Any further ideas?

Stephen
