I can't help on the dpkg configuration - I always
select the "go away and let me do it by hand"
option.
However, I haven't set recipient_delimiter in any
of my Postfix configs. I don't think it's an SMTP
feature that's used much anymore.

Where are you sending mail from when you're
getting that error, and who to?
Postfix has pretty strict controls on relaying. By
default, only clients covered by the mynetworks
parameter can send mail to arbitrary destinations.
Other clients can only send to hosts or domains
listed in mydestination or relay_domains.
The full details are here:
