Not only 4xx after end of data, it happens even if they get 4xx on
"RCPT TO".

Same story :)
For german capable readers:

(I keep telling these admins, that 4xx is part of real life in
transporting mails, not just some result of greylisting. But some of
them are stupid... - I experienced less problems with admins on the
sending side if I do not mention greylisting but just temporary problems
(file system locking, virus scanner updates, 1000 other excuses (except
greylisting))).
