That helps to clarify the issue. Thanks!

It was:
"User unknown in local recipient table"

For a full example:
Jun 14 16:55:48 bastion.coreel.com postfix/smtpd[31486]: D18F7875F0:
reject: RCPT from unknown[211.67.173.241]: 550 <gehipaxo.net>: User
unknown in local recipient table; from=<df4o2r3pyahoo.ca>
to=<gehipaxo.net> proto=SMTP helo=<209.172.126.232>

Note that the above was in fact a spam, but it should have been passed to
the internal mailserver (as specified in the transport table) and the
internal mailserver should have been the one that bounced it.
