This smacks more like a client problem than any recipient/sender problem.
Client? :-?
"refused to talk to me" normally means that the connection is firewalled or the server does not like the client and breaks off immediately after the connect. If it would happen at a later stage Postfix would log either "TIMEOUT after RCPT TO" for a timeout or a reject for helo/mail from/rcpt to/data.
But a firewall would reject all connections, and it only rejects connections of email sent via the redirector: NO) anyone --> my aka @ opensuse --> my email @ telefonica YES) anyone --> my email @ telefonica For instance, this list email, which is also sent from opensuse, has no problems that I'm aware off. A badly inplemented greylisting thing, perhaps?
What makes this even more mysterious is that the only sensible reject code for that situation would be "421 transmission channel closed".
In any case, the telefonica.net server seems rather borked. Either you return a permanent reject code 5xx and hand out a reject message that helps the sender to find out why the mail was rejected or you indeed accept the mail after the temporary problem is solved.
Yep. But sometimes it works instantly.
This is most probably a telefonica.net problem, and I expect the helpdesk to be completely useless in that situation.
Absolutely. The help desk, I discovered a minute ago, is a chat line, and they say the first time they will want to install in my computer certain software to be able to identify me... windows, of course, so I'm denied support :-/ I have worked "in the system", as a telephone network technician, and I was impossible to reach from the clients side, and I solved clients problems... the system was designed to impede such access. Very frustrating for the technician, too. They didn't last long, burnt out. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
