grep the Postfix logs, get a single incident of this and show everything.

Then use the time and date stamping to find the same exact transaction from
the IMail end.

Look at both sets of logs and see what they say.

Bad syntax in a session transcript can be several things.  The session
transcript means nothing other than, "Hi, you have a problem."

In contrast, the logs should say what the problem is.

If using Postfix on FreeBSD set up basically as Len suggests,

grep 12.159.188.6 /var/log/maillog

That should get you some specific incidents, and perhaps the answer.

Take the results and use them as a basis for more gepping, and/or for
looking into your IMail logs.

As long as you keep looking at session transcripts you will not have enough
information.
