Thanks for the suggestion Phil.

Unfortunately when I tried this suggestion I get other errors. Like
the one below

SMTP syntax error in
"\026\003\001?\200\001??|\003\001O\353\021\017\374!aeM\315|"
H=redacted.com [22.22.22.22]:51885 NULL character(s) present (shown as
'?')

Does that provide any further clues?
