I'll bet Subba is dialling up to the net using ibm.net's dialups.
They're almost certainly to be on the DUL. One of the people he's
trying to send email to is a DUL subscriber. And a damn good idea
that is, too, if you look at the amount of spam that comes from
dialups.
The solution, if you're running qmail on a dialup box, is to insert a
wildcard smtproute pointing to ibm.net's SMTP server. Like this (but
just guessing at ibm.net's SMTP server name):
echo ':mail.ibm.net' >/var/qmail/control/smtproutes
