is the following a general problem, or just one i am seeing?
Verizon does SMTP callbacks, connecting back to the MX of the envelope sender and trying to verify that the user exists
2003-12-01 10:09:05 1APbBa-000Ork-DY == [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp defer (0): SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=5365: host relay.verizon.net [206.46.170.12]: 450 Requested mail action not taken-Try later:sc004pub.verizon.net
So this would connect to the MX of gerbangmail.com and try to verify that [EMAIL PROTECTED] exists.
gerbangmail.com. 5h55m6s IN MX 0 sitemail.everyone.net.
If the MX (sitemail.everyone.net) doesn't respond fast enough for verizon, their tester times out, and the message gets 4xx'd.
