550 5.1.2 <JDOE@YOURDOMAIN.COM>... Host unknown (Name server:
mail.yourdomain.com.: host not found)
This means that our mail server was not able to locate
the mail server for switchgrass.net (mail.yourdomain.com) in the Internet's
domain name service (DNS). If the target system can't be found in the
DNS, then our mail server can't connect to the remote mail server to deliver
your message.
Most "host unknown" errors are caused by a typo
in the domain name part of the intended recipient's address, but an increasing
number of "host unknown" errors are the result of trying to
reply to junk mail (spam). This is because the "From:" address
on junk mail is almost always bogus. Where the address is typed correctly
and is a real one, the problem is usually a temporary failure in DNS.
What you should do:
Confirm the intended recipient's address, if possible.
Resend your message to the corrected address.
