Finally figured out what was causing this on some emails.

reject: RCPT from pyhm-fr4.mta.cloud[62.140.31.35]: 451 4.7.1 <yyy@zzz.com>: Recipient address rejected: Intentional policy rejection, please try again later;

pihole. Soon as a I disable pihole, no issues. Thought I could bypass the pihole by having the dns as 8.8.8.8 instead of using the pihole for the DNS in netplan, where iredmail is running. I've done this for on apple device as pi-hole breaks app download into icloud so this may bypass.

is there somewhere else in iredmail, I need to specify the dns, so it bypasses the pi-hole.
