Is it really _your_ qmail server that gives this status code? If so - some
patches must have been applied to vanilla qmail 1.03 as this code is not included
in the original distribution.
And how is she getting this error? With a bounce or as a status code when
sending via SMTP?
According to RFC1893 <http://rfc1893.x42.com/> status code (#4.7.1) means
a combination of the following paragraphs, i.e.
"Persistent Transient Failure; Delivery not authorized, message refused".
4.X.X Persistent Transient Failure
A persistent transient failure is one in which the message as
sent is valid, but some temporary event prevents the successful
sending of the message. Sending in the future may be successful.
X.7.1 Delivery not authorized, message refused
The sender is not authorized to send to the destination.
This can be the result of per-host or per-recipient
filtering. This memo does not discuss the merits of any
such filtering, but provides a mechanism to report such.
This is useful only as a permanent error.
