I sent an email this afternoon and watch the log for send. The email 
delivery

attempt was made with a 451 error but nothing resulted in my mailbox.


Tony:

Error numbers in the 400's usually mean "retry later"
Error numbers in the 500's usually mean "it's dead, Jim"

Typically, there is no message generated when a 4xx return is 
encountered, as the message is simply re-queued and tried again later. 
(Unless/until the message times out).


I ran into a really nasty problem with this in an Exchange server, 
because the messages to a journalling host (think TAP) were failing due 
to SPAM control, but the errors (because it was a journalling rule) were 
always re-written to a 4xx message -- the result being the send queue 
getting EXTREMELY full!


I hope this helps.
