Which link? I suppose there'll be thousands of "forgot password"
links.

The FQDN "localhost.localdomain" of the other machine cannot be
resolved. It is invalid. Maybe a Debian-Default?

A short-term solution would consist in defining an "exception" on your
SMTP server so that it doesn't start sender verifications for mails
coming from this special hosts.
For a long-term solution just contact the remote admin and tell hin to
have a look at his/her MTA configuration.
