Network qmail bounce

Hello, i seem to be facing a strange problem. I send my emails via qmail (on linux) and all the emails gets delivered to the recipient's inbox and bounces back to the sender's address and well. This happens irrespective of the recipient's email domain (gmail, yahoo, hotmail...).
We recently revamped the email delivery application and it's been happening ever since, on a consistent basis. The previous application however sends emails successfully, although they run on a different Linux box.

We noticed that the bounce messages contained one of the two error codes "5.1.1 Bad alias" or "5.2.2 - Recipient inbox full", both of which are not true.

Could you please help ?

qmail-lspawn(8)                                               System Manager's Manual                                              qmail-lspawn(8)

NAME
qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries SYNOPSIS
qmail-lspawn defaultdelivery DESCRIPTION
qmail-lspawn reads a series of local delivery commands from descriptor 0, invokes qmail-local to perform the deliveries, and prints the results to descriptor 1. It passes defaultdelivery to qmail-local as the default delivery instruction. qmail-lspawn invokes qmail-local asynchronously, so the results may not be in the same order as the commands. For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds out which local user controls that address. It first checks the qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not listed there, it invokes qmail-getpw. qmail-lspawn then runs qmail-local under the user's uid and gid. It does not set up any supplementary groups. qmail-lspawn treats an empty mailbox name as a trash address. SEE ALSO
