"sender was rejected" usually means that the remote SMTP server issued a 5xx or 4xx code after the MAIL FROM: command. This can be due to DNS problems when remote sites use bogus anti-spam measures. You'll also see this with some sites that reject empty envelope senders (i.e., you can't send a bounce to them). In general, sites that use either of these strategies aren't worth sending mail to.

RE: sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:____/
That didn't seem to do, apparently, I checked the correct functionality of our DNS and so on. Although in my log quote I used fake addresses those were just slightly changed. The usual protect the innocent (not from the regulars from this list, of course). Actually I do remember obtaining one of those messages and log entries when I tried to subscribe to this list. Which would mean that q-mail smtp daemons do give this Remote_host_said: response. Anyone has any pointers? The weirdest thing is that we have another qmail installation in here that does not receive any of those messages at all. Although I could re-route all outgoing e-mail to it, I rather not as it is a customer system. I am trying to figure out what is the reason for _our_ server to fail, rather than just patch it using another one that works...

I experienced the error when experimenting with my first qmail installation using unknown fqdn and the destination host did domain checking. I noticed usa.net and stupid.com were some of such ones.
