That's domain's MX points to mail.fastpictureviewer.com, which is a CNAME.
That's not allowed. Tell that domain's postmaster/adminmistrator to fix their
DNS problem.

I bet I get the same problem trying to email
postmaster@fastpictureviewer.com :)

Though I see the registrant has an alternate admin email...

Got the "Unable to run qmail-remote" again today to a different address,
this time no CNAME involved-

Hi Niamh,

could you provide us the relevant part of the log?

qmail-remote -- called by qmail-rspawn -- may not successful to connect to the remote host under the following conditions:

if (wait_crashed(wstat)) { substdio_puts(ss,"Zqmail-remote crashed.\n"); return; }

switch(wait_exitcode(wstat)) {
case 0: break;
case 111: substdio_puts(ss,"ZUnable to run qmail-remote.\n"); return;
default: substdio_puts(ss,"DUnable to run qmail-remote.\n"); return;
}

'Z' is a temporary problem 'D' a permanent one. Let us know!

Regards.

Seems to me like a permanent failure.

Since - for vanilla qmail - qmail-remote 'does not return' ... which patches do you have applied?
