I'm analyzing my logfiles after a test of sending live messages from Postini to my newly-configured SMTP gateway. Upon checking out the log, I see things like this:
64.18.2.90 - psmtp.com [12/Mar/2009:23:21:13 -0800] "EHLO -? psmtp.com SMTP" 250 243

It quits directly after the RCPT line. I check the user's inbox, and the message never arrives. Postini didn't try to send it later, either.
This is our biggest problem holding us back from switching to my new SMTP gateway. It doesn't do it to all messages, only about half or so. I thought it was an address space problem, but it has had no problems when it receives a mail on that IP address that is destined for a recipient that doesn't match the one in the address space - it just passes it to the SMTP connector that does.
Any suggestions or help?
