503 Need MAIL before RCPT

Hi Postfix fans,

Today I run into the famous 503 error (see below)

"
The Postfix program
<usernamedomain.com>: host mail.domain.com[222.111.111.222] said:
503 Need MAIL before RCPT (in reply to RCPT TO command)
"

The error occurs only on a certain mailhost (mail.domain.com) but not on
others. How am I about to troubleshoot this ?

I have done some reserach on the web and found that this must be realted
with the expected command order (HELO,MAIL,RCPT,DATA...).

Ralf Hildebrand did have a similar problem back in Oktober 2002.
Unfortunately I did not find a solution to this.

Any reply much appreciated.

Best regards

Nils Valentin
