Well ccr-bv.cambric.ro is the mx for cambric.ro right:

$ dig cambric.ro any

Now not sure if i understand you well. The bounce mail is
from riker.cambric.com. This is your host isn't it ? Because
ccr-bv.cambric.ro run sendmail.

If so could you show some evidence that the mail go through because with
ccr-bv.cambric.ro being a cname to itself the mail shoudn't go through.
Say put

debug_peer_list = ccr-bv.cambric.ro
debug_peer_level = 5

in main.cf

send some test mail and post the log.

The end goal as i see it is to be able to send a mail at
postmastercambric.ro to explain what has to be corrected.
