It's not really a qmail problem, which is why it won't be in a qmail
FAQ.
| Here is the error message I received from qmail:
| -----------------------------------------------------
| Hi. This is the qmail-send program at neil86.august.net.
| I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
| addresses.
| This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

| Connected to 204.247.247.54 but sender was rejected.

What it means: In the war on spam, many sites have started rejecting
mail from nonexistent domains. Clearly, 204.247.247.54 thought at the
time that JAMMConsulting.com is such a domain. Perhaps they
misconfigured their mailer daemon to treat a temporary error as
permanent, giving a 5xx error instead of a 4xx one. Or perhaps your
ISP managed to lose your domain registration for a while.
What you can do: Not much, if the problem is at the receiving end.
You might want to look over your DNS setup to make sure it is correct.
It looks OK to me, but I am no expert.
