Dear @Anv

Welcome to Discourse Meta.

Normally when we have these kind of problem we run something like:

```plaintext
sendmail -vvv A_VALID_EMAIL_ADDRESS < email.txt

```

and this will give you a very verbose output of the handshake between you and the SMTP server; and normally that verbose logging will provide you the clues to solve your issue.

Hope this helps.
