For sendmail related problems, a good source of information as to
why a message got bounced is usually in the sendmail log files.
The localtion of this is usually dictated by /etc/syslog.conf, but
on RedHat systems it's usually stored in /var/log/maillog.

Yes, but you're probably sending what sendmail wants - this isn't
necessarily the case when Zope does it (hence the 553).
