Is something failing at the incoming mail server?

[#1]

I've emails set up to be forwarded to an address @ my plusnet account.

I notice an email sent to me today hasn't arrived and checking the forwarding email, on the 15th, yesterday, and today, at totally different times, it's reported Mail Forwarding Failure for different emails, status 421. This sort of thing.

It LOOKS like they are trying and something is wrong somewhere. As I say, 3 reports on last 3 days (not including the one that didn't arrive today and I'm guessing might be similar). Other emails are getting through, it's totally intermittent? This has never happened before that I'm aware of and I've changed no settings.

Thought I'd mention it in case others aren't getting emails.

Technical details of the failure: 
Host not reachable.

Where is this mail being forwarded from?

“SMTP Error 421 is typically a temporary issue related to server overload, network problems, or configuration errors. It's not a direct indication of being blacklisted. However, if you frequently encounter this error along with other delivery issues, it may be worthwhile to check your IP's reputation.”
