Response 421 for all emails to @gnu.org

Response 421 for all emails to @gnu.org

Hi,

for the past days almost all of my emails to any email address ending with @gnu.org are delayed, and some of them bounce.  At least one other Zoho user has the same problem (unlike me the user does not use domain hosting).

I contacted sysadmin@gnu.org and they told me that there is no problem on their end.  Here's an excerpt from their reply to me:


I'm seeing an occasional error from zoho for example:

2017-10-23 12:28:36 [25674] unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from sender-co9.zoho.com (sender1.zohomail.com) [135.84.80.240]:31020 I=[208.118.235.92]:25

Most mail going through for zoho.com is without any error.

Today we are seeing an error delivering mail to zoho.com:

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:< REDACTED@zoho.com>: host smtpin.zoho.com [204.141.32.120]: 452 4.3.1 Temporary System Error
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:< REDACTED@zoho.com>: host smtpin2.zoho.com [204.141.33.54]: 452 4.3.1 Temporary System Error

Here is an example of an email that was "returned to sender":

I just downloaded this app a few moments ago, and I was wondering if there was a way to write things by hand in "Write" mode instead of just typing in the keyboard. It would make things a bit more efficient for me in this moment. Thanks!
