Gmail bouncing?

Gmail keeps bouncing mail that I’m trying to send via the web interface, immediately:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

xxxx@xxxxx.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 550 5.7.1 Email rejected due to sending server misconfiguration - see http://www.ordb.org/faq/#why_rejected

Googling, Ordb.org seems to have gone offline in 2006. Wtf.

[Update 20:15] Seems google is a lazy user of ordb.org Long-Dead ORDB Begins Returning False Positives
