Here is the error.

2004-04-22 08:44:36 1BGdWa-00066q-FV ** konrad.roeingh@???
<Konrad.Roeingh@???> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from
remote mailer after end of data: host mail1.sms-demag.de [62.159.28.1]:
554 Error writing message to safe storage; message could not be stored
to disk
2004-04-22 08:44:36 1BGdZE-0006Bs-VR <= <> R=1BGdWa-00066q-FV
U=Debian-exim P=local S=2527
2004-04-22 08:44:36 1BGdWa-00066q-FV Completed

Despite saying "Completed" this email is not received. I'm using small
test emails containing a few lines of ascii.

Supposedly, they can receive email from others. I'm a bit green on such
matters but as I understand it this error comes from their server. What
does not make sense is that I can telnet an email using the same IP.

Debian unstable
Exim 4. Version: 4.32-2
MailScanner Version: 4.29.7-2
There is no local mail delivered on my server.

This problem has persisted over two upgrades.

Any enlightenment or pointers to relevant reading would be appreciated.

Below is the telnet session.


Thanks
