Mark, Charles and the list,
I go this error message as well. What caused it for me was an
improperly configured ipchains script used on my public gateway. Once I
configured the script to allow outgoing port 25 requests to anywhere,
that solved the problem. This error msg can be difficult to track down
because there's several ways it can be produced....
