Here it is, as posted to the testers list:

both machines in the pepper.mail cluster (i.e. 194.217.242.40 and 
194.217.242.41) are regularly issuing a 503 response to a MAIL FROM: 
command, followed by a 503 response to an RSET.  Here's a sample from 
my logs:

Sun Apr 12 13:52:40 1998 194.217.242.40:25 - smtpcli sent: .
Sun Apr 12 13:52:40 1998 194.217.242.40:25 - smtpcli recv: 421
        Unexpected failure, please try later
Sun Apr 12 13:52:41 1998 194.217.242.40:25 - smtpcli sent: RSET
Sun Apr 12 13:52:41 1998 194.217.242.40:25 - smtpcli recv: 503 
                                  Command out of sequence
