[Xastir] FW: Xastir mailing list probe message

[J. Lance Cotton]

I looked in the probe message I got and found this (for my email):

----
<joe at lightningflash.net>: host
    lightningflash.net.inbound10.mxlogic.net[216.173.230.166] said: 503
    Bad sequence of commands (in reply to MAIL FROM command)
----

I see this error on serveral more of the bounce traces that were 
included in the probe message I got. This looks like the outgoing SMTP 
server for the mailing list is acting up.
