The mail server configuration.

The daily security logs are not very verbose, but they point to the
problem, so you can look at the cause later on. You could grep your logs
for the rejected hosts, and see why they were rejected. I'd try something
like:
# grep 'garlic\.com' /var/log/messages
or wherever you've set up your mail server software to log, and see why the
messages from this particular address block were blocked.
