First of all, thanks for the multiple and detailed repsonses with error reports. Indeed, this is the missing link and we obviously underestimated the reachability problem we have here on our DNS service. We already set up a plan to fix the issue and are looking forward getting this solved.

Thanks again and cheers

This seems to be an issue on your site, I checked the logs and all the times we were not 
able to deliver mails to you the error we had was "temporary mx resolver error".

Most likely root cause: "dns.hiskp.uni-bonn.de." does not answer queries via 
UDP, as you also have a couple of more systems answering fine, this would also explain 
why it sometimes works and sometimes not.

Subject: [mailop] "451 Requested action aborted: local error in processing" 
when submitting email to ionos email services.

Hi everybody,

for approximately one year, we are receiving regular complaints from remote 
contacts having problems to ship email from a service like gmx.de, gmx.net, 
1und1.de and similar in fact services hosted by ionos to our email domain 
(@hiskp.uni-bonn.de, MX=mx8.hiskp.uni-bonn.de).
During submission of ionos customers to one of the ionos servers people 
eventually receive an error of type:

451 Requested action aborted: local error in processing

We tried to track this error on our own and found out that this warning 
randomly appears and if a resubmit is tried a few seconds later, submission via 
ionos services works flawlessly. Guessing that this might be caused by the MX 
entry for our destination getting lost in the cache of ionos submission servers 
due to a to short TTL, we tried changing that in our DNS, but this did not 
change the scenario.

We furthermore observed that mail systems obviously receiving heavier load than 
we do seem not to have this problem or it occurs very rarely.
Anyway that is for now a wild guess from us.
To us this appears as if the timeout checking DNS for the MX + A / AAAA records 
is too short, independant ot the TTL and it furthermore appears to be load 
dependant on the ionos servers.
The same phaenomenon we regularly observe when mail from our site is shipped to 
ionos servers. Here emails regularly get deferred for several seconds with the 
same 451 error but are successfully acepted with code
250 a few seconds later.

As access to intermediate and top layer domain servers is obviously beyond our 
administrational range, does anybody have an idea why this occurs really? Is 
there maybe a contact at ionos to subscribe our email service for flawless 
transport, such as e.g. at t-online.de?  Is this problem known to anybody else 
and what did you do to fight it?

With kind regards

     Michael
