[Mailman-Users] Rejected or bounced messages.

[Joseph Brennan]

These three were stopped after RCPT, so the problem is not about content. 
Most likely the recipient address is not deliverable.

<mail at me.com>: host mx6.me.com.akadns.net[17.158.8.114] said: 550
   5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: username at me.com (in reply to RCPT
   TO command)

The first one is the unusual case.

<mail at epdot.com>: host mx1.megamailservers.com[216.251.32.71] said: 550
   5.7.1 s01D0qcI004613 This message does not comply with required 
standards.
   (in reply to end of DATA command)

I've never seen this error before.

Google "This message does not comply with required standards" to find a lot 
of people speculating about what it means, going back to 2006. They all 
relate it to Exchange or Outlook, but mx1.megamailservers.com says it is 
running Sendmail 8.13.6, and this is not a standard sendmail error message. 
So it's a custom filter on megamailservers.com.

Here's an example involving Mailman and megamailservers.com from 2007!

... with complete message attached. I don't see anything wrong with it.
