My *guess* at this time is that 1. The true cause of the error is a customer firewall or similar that is blocking the connection.
2. The "anonymouslevel" text in the error message is totally spurious and has nothing to do with reality. I have seen this before, where the "detail" part of an FTP error message was devoid of a connection to reality. My *suspicion* is that the component generating the error is failing to set the "reason code" (using the term in a general sense) correctly, leading the message generation routine to insert spurious text.
