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
