You're doing DNS validation on your outbound
mail. Don't do that. Pay attention to the stuff
in section 6 of the FAQ, especially including
6.6, 6.8, 6.12, etc....
Also, fix your MTA configuration so it returns a 5xx status, not a 450
for a non-existant domain.
To the best of my knowledge, this can not be “fixed” (for Postfix). If
Postfix is unable to obtain DNS settings for a domain, it will treat
it as a temporary error, and will return 450, regardless of settings
(and to me this seems correct, as not being able to obtain DNS
settings is likely because something is down).
If on the other hand it _does_ find a name server for the domain and
there is no MX record, _then_ can it be treated as a permanent error.
If others should run into this problem
`reject_unknown_recipient_domain` was the setting I had to disable in
Postfix’s `smtpd_recipient_restrictions`.
