This is because your mailer daemon (rightfully) does not relay mail for
just anybody. You could allow relaying for this one particular individual
(and others, of course). If you were using sendmail, for example. You
can open the: _virtualusertable_ file and add the following:
secretariat_student at domain.tld   yourusersemailname at real.tld
You could also open the: _trusted-users_ file and simply add their name
there. But this probably would not completely resolve your situation.
You might also get away with simply adding their _real_ email address
to sendmails _access_ file. eg; the line:
yourusersemailname at real.tld OK
Give it a try. If I have understood your goal(s) correctly, one of
these suggestions should do the trick.
