As was said earlier, 4xx errors are transient failures, meaning that they will retry until the message expires.
Generally its an issue on the recipient's end - their server is down or not accepting connections at this time. Can you do a manual connection and see if you can successfully send an email (i.e. via a telnet session)? ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
