"bastion.ittind.com" was not able to connect to "fluids" since it is not fully qualified I would suspect "fluids" being directly served by "bastion.ittind.com" maybe in the same domain (and then maybe in a total different one hosted on the same mail server) ... As for 421 : following the post explaining the 3 digit codes 4.X.X Persistent Transient Failure A persistent transient failure is one in which the message as sent is valid, but some temporary event prevents the successful sending of the message. Sending in the future may be successful. [...] X.2.1 Mailbox disabled, not accepting messages The mailbox exists, but is not accepting messages. This may be a permanent error if the mailbox will never be re-enabled or a transient error if the mailbox is only temporarily disabled.
