It seems the sender is being rejected by some of your Postfix rules/setup.

What were you exactly doing when that message came out?

Here could be the problem. You are using a very limited network scope 
(only e-mail from localhost/loopback).

If this is your first Postfix setup, I would suggest you to first 
configure Postfix un-chrooted and try to setup a local account and make 
the basic tests (sending/receiving from your lan). 

Then you can start increasing the setup difficulty (by adding saslauth, 
allowing remote connections, setup a real host with an external -
routeable- IP...) and finally, when all of the above is working properly, 
setup the jail.
