Hi, I'm sorry I couldn't be much assistance due to being busy. So I can't have much time now. :(

Anyway, please check your DNS settings. Both from your end and receiving end. Especially look for MX records.

Problem caused by having trouble writing to output device
 
Check your /etc/aliases file for any maps that cause email to processed by a script or routed to a file. If the "putbody" function cannot write to the device or write to it fast enough it will output this error.
