TotalChoiceMailProblem

I finally solved a mail problem that has been bugging me for several years, so it seemed a good idea to write it up.

I have never been able to send mail from my server (fugazi.hollenback.net) to any domain hosted by totalchoicehosting.com. This has always been a problem because my good friend Scotto hosts a number of domains there, including his own. To send mail to Scotto, I am forced to use a junk hotmail account he checks very infrequently.

The failure is that mail sent to any of these domains is rejected with a 451 message:

<mike@empireindustry.com>: host empireindustry.com[216.180.241.234] said: 451
     Temporary local problem - please try later (in reply to RCPT TO command)

Which results in my mail sitting in my queue on fugazi for several days as the mail server tries every few hours to redeliver the message and fails. Finally, four days later, the mail bounces.
