5.7.1 is a policy rejection.

It looks like mail.flaschcom.com doesn't accept mail coming from 
platon.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp.

Given the significant amount of spam flowing through *.jp machines, 
this is not a big surprise. I know that is a very gross way to do 
rejections, but it works reasonably well for many organizations: just 
reject anything coming from all of a country, and the spam coming 
from there will stop. For most US ISP's, the amount of legitimate 
mail coming from japan is extremely small.
