First, is there any logging or other diagnostic information
available from the BorderWare device? That's probably the
best source of information on what the problem is.

You should try to get a packet trace of a failed message. I
expect it will show a completely normal SMTP session where the
remote side responds "451 Err..." and then disconnects, but
it's prudent to verify that.

If the BroderWare box is yours, you need to contact their tech
support. This doesn't sound like a postfix problem.
