I am attempting to send email through the courier esmtp server, to a
server hosted with Verio.  I have historically had no issue sending mail
to this recipient, but in the past week, my mail to this recipient
bounces back to me with something like the following:
                           UNDELIVERABLE MAIL

Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
    mail-fwd.xxxxxx-verio.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx]:
<<< 554 <xxx.xxx.xxx.xx>: Connection rejected: reverse DNS lookup failed

Is this something that I can correct at my server, or does the issue
need to be corrected at Verio's end?  I am having no problems with other
recipients, so my instincts tell me that it might not be my problem.

I long ago added the -noidentlookup and -nodnslookup options to TCPDOPTS
in esmtpd to eliminate long timeout delays that we were getting when
sending mail from one of our offices (they are behind a NAT router).  Is
the -nodnslookup relevant to this error?  I thought it was a dnslookup
on a host sending mail through the server, not something initiated by a
receiving host...

Also, I am told that verio just added some new spam filtering technology
to their mail servers - this problem seems coincide with the time-frame
of their change...

Any help is greatly appreciated!
