More about this later.

This looks ok.
The ``dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error'' error code is described (along
with other SMTP error codes) in RFC 1893 as:
5.X.X Permanent Failure
A permanent failure is one which is not likely to be resolved by
resending the message in the current form. Some change to the
message or the destination must be made for successful delivery.
X.6.X Message Content or Media Status
The message content or media status codes report failures
involving the content of the message. These codes report
failures due to translation, transcoding, or otherwise
unsupported message media. Message content or media issues are
under the control of both the sender and the receiver, both of
whom must support a common set of supported content-types.
X.6.0 Other or undefined media error
Something about the content of a message caused it to be
considered undeliverable and the problem cannot be well expressed
with any of the other provided detail codes.
A few things to check are:
* Can you resolve your own IP address correctly?
* Can you resolve 'mail.test.com' correctly?
* Can you connect to `mail.test.com' at port 25?
* Can you connect to port 587 of `mail.test.com'?
* Is `mail.test.com' the actual ISP mail server name? If not, please
tell us its _real_ name, so we can also check if there are DNS or
other problems.
It may even be useful to show us tcpdump output obtained with:
tcpdump -n -v -l -X -i em0 'host a.b.c.d && port 25'
Where 'em0' is replaced by your outgoing interface, 'a.b.c.d' is
replaced by the IP address of 'mail.test.com' and you have carefully
edited the log file to _hide_ any occurrence of your password *only*.
