"No SMTP response to data-dot"-message and delivered the message like 10 times

213.193.81.54 is not an open relay. I've got no idea where it got that
idea from.
And I'm no even using 213.193.81.54 to send my e-mails, I'm using
thunderbird which directly connects to my smtp server. 213.193.81.54 is
my external ip address (and also the smtp server of the company I'm
working at right now, but it's neither an open relay, nor is used for
those transactions in any way).
It also doesn't give me that openrelay message for the mail I'm sending
right now. I guess it must be related to the " No SMTP response to
data-dot " error.

Is the IP address 213.193.81.54 the IP of your email server? If indeed you have an Open Relay, you certainly have a big configuration issue.
