554 Denied - Denied for Spam Content
Solution:
If you believe that the message is legitimate and should be delivered, contact the recipient and let them know what you are seeing and request that they Whitelist / Allow your sending address.
Why this happens?
Although any spam filtering, Firewall or Mail Server can reply with a similar type of error this normally happens when the recipients server is using some type of spam filtering service.
