sieve redirect to foreign email gets “Relay access denied”

I have a postfix mail server with sql authentication and I want to 
implement sieve on it.

Sieve is working relative good, rules who contain 'fileinto' are 
executed perfectly.
The problem is the redirect to other servers.
I configured a rule in Sieve to redirect any email containing "redirect" 
in subject to a specified foreign destination. #
So practically a email coming from sender at live.de for the local user 
testuser at server.net should be redirected to destination at gmail.com when 
the subject contains "redirect"

    if header :contains ["subject"] ["redirect"] {redirect
    "destination at gmail.com"; stop;}

when I test it I get the following log entry

    /postfix/smtpd[32114]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
    mail.server.net[xx.xx.xx.xx]: 554 5.7.1 <destination at gmail.com>:
    Relay access denied; from=<sender at live.de>
    to=<destination at gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.server.net>/

How can I tell postfix to let dovecot/sieve relay the email?

can somebody give a hint?
