The message is indicating that your toaster wasn't able to connect to the
destination server.
The destination server appears to be up now:
$ host -t MX oscn.net
oscn.net mail is handled by 10 mail.oscn.net.
$ telnet mail.oscn.net 25
Trying 204.61.6.14...
Connected to mail.oscn.net (204.61.6.14).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 okcmailex.oscn.net Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830
ready at Mon, 5 Feb 2007 14:04:02 -0600
quit
221 2.0.0 okcmailex.oscn.net Service closing transmission channel
Connection closed by foreign host.
$
The destination might have been down at the time. Try above commands from
your toaster. If it connects ok, have your user try resending the message.
