Currently this host is unreachable from here, it could be temporary,
but more likely to be because the outgoing mail is queued on a machine
that is only accessible from within your ISP's own network.

Since you are using NT4 I see, it should be possible to get a TCP or IP
trace of the connection attempt, I would expect NT to have the tools to
do that but I don't have the commands needed off the top of my head.
