Your request ``smtp net!qwest.net blahblab '' failed (code Giveup).
The symptom was:

Sun Oct  8 12:39:43 EDT 2006 connect to net!qwest.net:
451 mail server temporarily rejected message (#4.3.0)

we're seeing this from MSN too from a plan 9 system. Anybody know what 
this could be, or what to do?

thanks

I think it's upas returning the message after trying to deliver it for
48 hours but receiving a "temporary" rejection each time, probably due
to (broken) greylisting or SPF or a full disk.

How often do you run your (outside) mail queue from cron?

I send a message to qwest.net!blahblah and got the same temporary
rejection.  I waited 5 minutes and ran the queue by hand and it went
through, so presumably the rejection is due to not retrying often
enough to satisfy greylisting.  I assume mine will bounce back soon.
