Hello :-)

I have a random problem with a MX at web.de (a large mail provider in
germany). I changed the real email adresses in this log.

My postfix log shows:

usermx:~> sudo grep 362812AFE4 /var/log/mail

I am running a postfix-2.1.5-3.4 on SuSE Linux 9.2 (normal rpm from SuSE
Online Update).

In July I already had 4 similar incidents with these servers:

sudo zgrep "550 Protocol violation (in reply to DATA command)"
mail-200607*.gz

Is the problem here or at web.de ? Normally postfix works fine with
thousands of mails per day.
