 It means that you misquoted the error code ;-) 
 The actual error was 441, which means "posting failed", followed by an 
 additional error text consisting of the internal error "220" which, in 
 this case, is only meaningful to the admin of the server. This was a 
 temporary outage of the server due to a failing component that is not 
 part of the news server itself.
