Your domain, MTA or CIDR block may have been banned by the remote admin.
Your domain, MTA or CIDR block may be on spam source list such as Spamhaus.
And it may simply mean that the recipient doesn't want email from the sender and has put the sender on their private reject list. This would be the one I'd suspect. A phone call from the sender to the recipient is in order to find out what the situation is.

All SMTP codes have arbitrary meaning... or said differently, each MTA + MTA config can be modified in any way.
So non-250 (success) SMTP codes are always suspect... meaning you never really know what they mean.
Provided a real From: or To: address for debugging might be help + might not.
As @Kimputer mentioned, the only way to answer your question 100% correctly, is to contact the def.com MX owner asking for them to analyze their logs + provide you more detail... which might or might not produce good results, as usually requests for this detail are ignored.
Thanks for the advise. I will contact the owner.
