This looks like the recipient domain does sender address verification and the mailserver for the sender reported "User unknown in virtual alias table" (and maybe that data is old, but cached) st...@holdenweb.com is definitely being valid ( :) ) and (I just tested this) being accepted by every MX host. Thus I'm assuming that the MXes for pythoncraft.com (which are using postfix) cached the negative verification result. The default settings are: address_verify_negative_cache = yes address_verify_negative_expire_time = 3d address_verify_negative_refresh_time = 3h Meaning that it may take up to 3 days for the wrong data to expire.
