As Seth has already pointed out, your MX needs to be able to validate SRS
signed addresses. You can easily test this by generating a valid SRS address
(your outgoing mailserver already does that correctly), and telnet to your
MX, on port 25, to validate the SRS signed RCPT TO address.

You will need to tell a bit more about your setup. Does your MX use a Milter
at the gate? Or do you have sendmail validate the SRS recipients directly,
using the srs2envtol.pl script? A Milter will, of course, give you a bit
more colorful error codes, but requires some extra steps.
