E-mail bounces, but address does exist

I am getting the following error when I send a mail from one of my Linux
servers, using an exchange server inside our firewall to relay the
message - the mail is sent to an internal address as well:

The address membership <at> caretech.co.za does exist.  I can send mail from

When I specify my Outlook address as the reply-address, I get the
following mail back:

From: System Administrator

The domain name caretech.co.za is listed in main.cf:mydestination,
but membership is not listed in the UNIX password file or in the
local /etc/aliases database.

If the domain name caretech.co.za must be delivered elsewhere, see
http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#backup
