Aha, so the remote email system doesn't accept email from made up domains. The bounce goes through because it is sent from an empty address <>, so no domain check there.
Looks like you may have to give your mail server a proper domain name, to get past the security checks at sonic.com
Can I get the primary outgoing mail to use the empty domain the way the bounces do? I see these FROM_HEADER and POSTFIX_MASQUERADE_DOMAIN parameters whose descriptions suggest vaguely that this could be done.
The best way to do this is to configure the system correctly, then mail won't be lost. If you use the empty address as the sender address then mail will be lost if it can't be delivered. You said, that the bounce was getting through, so why don't you use that address as the sender address? Do you have control of the remote system or can you set up smtp auth, so most of the spam checks will be skipped? -- Sandy List replies only please!
