You should get an error back. So what's the error?
No error, it never leaves the queue. It just sits there complaining
about a read error. Standard "warning 4 hours" and then "error 5 days"
messages from sendmail on our mailhost.
If I switch over for ten minutes to our ISP's smarthost then it's
gone in just a few seconds and charter.net accept delivery from them.
If I try to connect to their SMTP port by hand:
mirror!~ % telnet charter.net 25
Trying 64.192.190.12...
telnet: connect to address 64.192.190.12: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
So I think it's an IP address based thing at their end.

Ironic, considering the amount of spam and spam attempts that my server
gets from *their* dynamic addresses...
