Yeah, I finally had some time to work on this (since leaving the office
and getting home). I apologize for the last 2 messages, they were
composed while I was concentrating more on another fire.
It seems that the sending MTA is not understanding that my MTA is not
advertising the DSN capability:
ehlo test
250-psknet.com Hello grant.psknet.com [63.171.251.7]
250-SIZE 157286400
250-PIPELINING
250 HELP
Now I get to email this guy and rip him a new one for telling my
customer that my mail server is broke.
=D
