With no 'postconf -n', I can only guess. <taps crystal ball> I'm guessing this is a non-existent domain. Postfix accepted it because it was sent from within permit_mynetworks. Postfix will bounce it after maximal_queue_lifetime (default 5 days). If you wish to reject/defer initially, you need to add reject_unknown_recipient_domain before permit_mynetworks in smtpd_recipient_restrictions. Note: reject_unknown_recipient_domain is subject to transient DNS issues. It is highly recommend to have a local, caching DNS server. </taps crystal ball>
