Postfix SASL authenticated - Recipient address rejected: Access denied

[Excizted]

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu Server 10.04 in an OpenVZ based virtual machine.

By following this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...nx-ispconfig-3 I have set up a mail server based on Postfix with SASL through PEM through MySQL authentication.

I use SASL authentication to allow end users (from external IP's) to connect and send mail through this SMTP server.

When I try to send a mail from an external PC, through the server, I get
RCPT TO <excizted@gmail.com> failed: <excizted@gmail.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied

Googling tells me to allow the IP or use SASL - BUT I AM USING SASL!!!!
Contiued Googling tells me to add smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, reject to my config - BUT IT IS ADDED!!!!

I am going crazy about this!
Would love if anyone could help me out!

This is my config (/etc/postfix/main.cf):

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default

Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.
