It's a mis-configured DNS at their end.  Their main MX record points to
127.0.0.1 which is your machine which is not it-secure.de so smtpds
tries to deliver it to it-secure.de which points to 127.0.0.1 which is
your machine which is not it-secure.de so smtpds tries to deliver it ...

d:\>nslookup
Default Server:  ns1.une.edu.au

Non-authoritative answer:
it-secure.de    MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = mail.it-secure.de

it-secure.de    nameserver = ns1.domainname.at
it-secure.de    nameserver = ns2.domainname.at
mail.it-secure.de       internet address = 127.0.0.1
ns1.domainname.at       internet address = 212.69.173.5
ns2.domainname.at       internet address = 212.69.174.5
