Further information. The bounce was sent to us by a client of ours as they had no idea why it was happening (rather ambiguous error message dont you think). I then emailed the target address(a)telecom.co.nz (one of them) as a test and requested an acknowledgement. No bounce... but no acknowledgement at this point. I assume by the fact that youre recieving email that the problem appears to be isolated to the telecom.co.nz MTA and its ability to talk to our client MTA at QSI. I will contact Donald directly see if he can help us out. Mark. - QSI Helpdesk. At 13:49 9/10/01 +1300, Donald Neal wrote:

: Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1) I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
