So you are telling the gateway that sub.domain.net is local, and of
course it will then try to deliver [email]user@sub.domain.net[/email] locally - and
fail.

You need to enclose the IP address in [brackets] - smtp:[192.168.1.3].

>relay-domains:
>192.168.1

And you need to allow relaying *to* sub.domain.net - add it there or in
access db.
