Email woes II

Bunny spent the past few days berating The Monopolistic Phone Company about their little email problem [1]. It seems to be cleared up for the most part, except for the occasional:

Final-Recipient: rfc822;XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure)
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 502-'Command not implemented' (delivery attempts: 0)
Reporting-MTA: dns; mx00.mail.bellsouth.net

And in checking the MX (Mail eXchange) record for The Monopolistic Phone Company, I have a 1 in 3 chance of hitting the bad server there.

Lovely.
