(please post in plain-text only) (please use example.com rather than real domain names. thanks) Looks as if the destination 1.2.3.4 doesn't like your server. You'll need to check with them about why. One possibility is that you've been flooding them with backscatter and they've blacklisted you for that. If that's the problem, the solution is to not accept mail you can't deliver. Or maybe you've got a spam-bot on your network that's spewing stuff they don't like. But that's just speculation... Only they know the reason. -- Noel Jones
