Starting off by saying that in the first place would help us to help
you. Really.

OK, so let's have a look at your log entry...

"temporarily".

And "after DATA".

These are really important terms. Your server, for some reason, rejected
the message with a 4xx response after it received the DATA part of the
transaction; without other detail we don't know why. If the sender
didn't honour the 4xx response, then they are not correctly configured
*or* your machine subsequently sent a 5xx (permanent) response after the
detail you gave us.

I'd really not recommend pasting your entire log here, but I suspect
that if you're using something like SpamAssassin then you're overloading
that which is causing your problems. I would guess that there's a lot of
other detail in your logs.
