Unable to send mail using an alternate Identity in Thunderbird.

more options

This started the 16th of May after Timewarner/Spectrum was down for an hour or so.

If I use an alternate identity I get the following error in Thunderbird.

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.0 <otheremail@otherdns.com> sender rejected AUP#O-1030. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

If I write a message with the default identity and select "Customize From Address..." I can send mail.

Sendmail also had the same issue in linux & I used telnet to debug and fix the issue. Here's a couple telnet sessions.
