What's up with this? The result of the probe is "deliverable", but postfix rejects the message with a 450 code.

When the client retries, the address is in the verify cache, and delivery succeeds.

This happens only some of the time - usually it behaves as I want it to. The host being delivered to is also running postfix and under my control. Nothing interesting is logged on that system; it looks like any successful probe.

What can be going on? This is postfix 2.6.6 running on RedHat EL 6.

Configuration options related to address verification:

unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550
unverified_recipient_reject_reason = Not deliverable
address_verify_map = btree:$data_directory/verify_cache
