email bounced for container policy reasons
E-mail sent from a Geeklog CMS site is being rejected by a specific domain with the rejection message:
550 5.5.0 Mail rejected for container policy reasons
Any ideas on what this means?
This is apparently a recent change, and the domain's email adminstrator has not responded to my requests for an explanation.
I'm not sending unsolicited mail. This happens when I attempt to communicate with registered users who have previously signed up using email at this domain.

a 5.5.0 error is normally a generic transport error and most times due to reverse lookups failing for the intended domain.

If you want you can try and telnet to the smtp server that is giving you problems and try and send a message so:
C:\telnet meanserver.meandomain.tld 25
220 mail.meandomain.tld ESMTP Postfix
helo itsmedomain.com
250 mail.meandomain.tld
mail from:user@itsmedomain.com
250 Ok
rcpt to:user@meandomain.tld
554 <user@itsmedomain.com>: Sender address rejected: Domain not found
That is close to what you should see if this is the problem.
