Question : Connected to 205.178.149.7 but connection died. (#4.4.2)

My client @precisionpixelstudios.com on a linux server (209.104.3.182) can not email an address @michaelmcdermott.com.

Here is the error message:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at exodus1.irapture.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
Connected to 205.178.149.7 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.


Notes:

I can ping 205.178.149.7 from 209.104.3.182.

Answer : Connected to 205.178.149.7 but connection died. (#4.4.2)

I have never "objected" to a user "reclaiming" a question before -- and I'm going to hit "submit" below, rather than formally objecting... but I fail to see how pointing you to the failure messages in the traceroute didn't lead you to your solution.

I'm just sayin....
