How to "re-write" incoming addresses to avoid bouncing..?

[John Dempsey]

Hmm.. 
It fixes internally sent messages. Before they were just disappearing.. 
Now they get sent correctly.
Unfortunately sending from an external host still fails. (relay access 
denied)
I tried one of the examples in the canonical file also:
user at mailserver.domain.com   user at domain.com
but it didnt improve things..
