Your software is fully functional, it is the remote end that is unable to
send to you. You can send mail to the remote server without problem.
In versions prior to 4.30C you would not have been able to send to this
remote server either but this was amended in that version so that only the
remote servers were affected.

The simplest thing to do if people have problems sending mail to you
because of this problem is to get them to have a word with their ISP.

(Note from Geo added)  This is total bullshit, it is OUR mail servers that are refusing the email, that means it's OUR problem even though we paid a lot of money for a LEGAL copy of NTmail. Any other ISP running Qmail doesn't have a problem, the ISP running the hacked version doesn't have a problem except with US!!!
