Your MTA tried to make an SMTP connection to theirs, and after sending 
the RCPT TO: line, it recieved back a status message from the server 
starting with "554 <adsl..." and ending with "Policy Violation 1205"

In other words, your MTA is passing on an error message from the remote 
server. Judging from what the error message said, perhaps they think 
you're a spammer.
