Thanks for your response. Here is the output of my telnet test. I guess I'm really not sure what to make of it. The bolded text is of some concern to me.
Trying 66.226.64.2...
Escape character is '^]'.
220
pro.abac.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.1/8.14.1; Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:27:30 -0700 (PDT)
250 2.1.0 root@abulafia.ipr.edu... Sender ok
550 5.1.1 jason@ipr.edu... User unknown
Thanks again. I'm not necessarily looking for someone to give me the answer, as it were, but if I could get some help looking in the right direction I would be very appreciative.
Best to you,
Jason

It's kinda difficult to help with this, without knowing what the A-Plus server is seeing.
An unsanitised copy of the bounce message would probably show the problem.
Does it definitely show the correct email address of a user for which A-Plus has a mailbox?
Can you reproduce the problem telnetting to the A-Plus MX server on port 25?

I guess I'll dip my toes in here and admit that I can't figure this out.
Synopsis: I've setup Postfix to be a mail out only smtp server. I just want it for our Joomla based web pages and our helpdesk to be able to mail to users from the local server. The problem is this: I can mail to any domain (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) without problem, but I can't receive mail directly through our A-plus based mail (the worst!). What happens is that A-plus' server rejects the user as unkown even though I know it is correct. What really gets my goat is that after that message is returned to my server it is then delivered to the A-plus server and thusly shows up in my webmail and email client. Below are my configs.
