I have read A LOT of places of people trying to solve this problem and none of them have worked for me. I have the following script
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')
msg['Subject'] = "[Test Email]"
msg['From'] = "email@domain.biz"
msg['To'] = "email@domain.com"
text = "sample Email"
html = "<html><body>sampleEmail</body></html>"
textPart = MIMEText(text, 'plain')
htmlPart = MIMEText(html, 'html')
msg.attach(textPart)
msg.attach(htmlPart)
s = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
s.set_debuglevel(1)
s.sendmail("email@domain.biz","email@domain.com", msg.as_string())
s.quit()
When I run the script on server a (call it domain.com), everything works as expected. When I run the script on server b (call it domain.biz), I get Relay Access Denied. On server b I tried to set up my own postfix instance for domain.biz (and wasn't entirely successful), and I something might be messed up from that.
Everything I have read says that the local SMTP Server is not allowing to relay to (or from?) this address. Someone suggested I make sure smtpd_recipient_restrictions includes permit_mynetworks:
sudo postconf smtpd_recipient_restrictions
which printed:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
So that looks good (Could the problem be reject_unauth_destination?).
Then they said make sure the ip address is included in mynetworks so:
sudo postconf mynetworks
which prints:
mynetworks = 10.0.0.0/16, 192.168.1.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8, 55.55.55.0/24, .domain.com, .domain.biz, .ip-55-55-55-55.ip.secureserver.net
As you can see I added every domain I could think of. (note 55.55.55.55 is not the real IP).

I changed the IP addresses and the ipaddresses.
UPDATE:
After Weeks of trying to get this working and thanks to everyone's assistance I found the solution. I was trying to use localhost as the relayhost, but because this is a godaddy hosted server all relays must go through a designated relayhost. All I needed to do was change the location of the SMTP. The line is now:
s = smtplib.SMTP("dedrelay.secureserver.net")
