I didn=E2=80=99t really ask for a simple answer...
It=E2=80=99s not so much the understanding, it=E2=80=99s more like =
laziness. It=E2=80=99s a mail server I built in 1998 and =
rebuilt/upgraded in 2006 and it pretty much just sits there and runs.
I don=E2=80=99t have to look at it a lot. So my skills are not =
=E2=80=98fresh=E2=80=99.

-----------------------------------
I was browsing through maillog but there=E2=80=99s so many properly =
rejected mails it=E2=80=99s kind of depressing.
such as:

Oct 19 00:12:56 mail sm-mta[27488]: ruleset=3Dcheck_relay, =
arg1=3D[101.200.123.160], arg2=3D127.0.0.4, relay=3D[101.200.123.160], =
reject=3D550 5.7.1 Rejected: 101.200.123.160 listed at =
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

When I grep=E2=80=99d maillog for the problem domain none found =
=E2=80=93 but maybe too big of a delay between it happening and being =
reported to me...

Hi,

Yes, you have a misconfiguration.  That you are asking the question =
means, with all due respect, that your understanding of how mail servers =
work is probably not sufficient for a simple answer.  But to give you =
one anyway, there is some problem with the MTA (mail transport agent) =
you are using being able to verify the recipient address.  You should be =
looking in the logs produced by your MTA for more details.

Check your maillog file in /var/log for error messages for that email.  =
There should be something helpful there.
