Ok,

then its the downstream relay that is 450 deferring the message, the 
problem is probably on that server as I think has been mentioned.

You should telnet to port 25 on the downstream machine from your 
mailscanner box, and type through the smtp process, to see exactly the 
returned error, as follows:

telnet 65.182.102.90 25
(wait for greeting)

helo <yourhostname here>
(wait for response)
mail from:<your email address here>
(wait for response)
rcpt to:<destination email valid on the downstream box>
(wait for response)
data
(enter data with a '.' on line by itself to end)

Its unlikely that you will get all the way to the end, before the 
downstream box comes back with the rejection, this will prove its the 
downstream box, here is an example:

[root at mail ~]# *telnet lionel.farrows.org 25*
Trying 212.21.120.10...
Connected to lionel.farrows.org (212.21.120.10).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 lionel.farrows.org ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.1/8.13.1; Tue, 8 Jul 2008 
21:19:30 +0100
*helo mail.skeltongroup.com*
250 lionel.farrows.org Hello mail.skeltongroup.com [212.46.155.18], 
pleased to meet you
*mail from:administrator at skeltongroup.com*
250 2.1.0 administrator at skeltongroup.com... Sender ok
*rcpt to:peter at farrows.org*
250 2.1.5 peter at farrows.org... Recipient ok
*data*
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
*test
.*
250 2.0.0 m68KJUCO027572 Message accepted for delivery

The stuff I typed is in bold...I receive an email from 
administrator at skeltongroup.com with the word "test" in the body....

Pete
