451 Unable to complete command, DNS not available or timed out

Hello all,

We are running postfix-1.1.11-114 on SuSE Enterprise
8.0

Recently, we are having a problem with only one
perticular domain, rather only their primary mail
exchange server. All outgoing mails going towards this
server are giving error like this:

Mar 22 01:54:07 c01lp016 postfix-out/smtp[21889]:
1DA06663A: to=<abcdremote-domain.com>,
relay=mail.remote-domain.com[aa.bb.cc.dd],
delay=302543, status=deferred (host
mail.remote-domain.com[aa.bb.cc.dd] said: 451 Unable
to complete command, DNS not available or timed out)

Also, when I try manual SMTP telnet to that server, it
just doesn't respond at all after "mail from" command.
Typical response of the remote server is pasted below:
------------
YOGIBH-~:> telnet mail.remote-domain.com 25
Trying aa.bb.cc.dd ...
Connected to mail.remote-domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
helo myserver.mydomain.com
220
***************************************************************************22*****200**02********0000
mail from: msg-supportmydomain.com
-------------

I tried traceroute to the remote server. But it seems
that they are filtering traceroutes on firewall. The
remote domain has also somplained that they are also
not able to send mails to us.

Everything was working fine before a week.

Does anyone has any clues? Please advice ..

Thanks in advance
