Twitter is sending mail from noreply@twitter.com, which does not exist. Many email servers reject emails from sender addresses that can not be verified.
This looks like that (like on my mail server):
2008-09-01 18:37:48 H=postmaster.twitter.com [128.121.145.168] sender verify fail for <noreply@twitter.com>: response to "RCPT TO:<noreply@twitter.com>" from aspmx.l.google.com [74.125.79.27] was: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please\n550-5.1.1 try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos\n550-5.1.1 or unnecessary spaces. Learn more at\n550 5.1.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/an... 20si8216194eyk.4

It's a common mistake to think that non-existant sender addresses can harmlessly be used. Twitter should fix that. -

Passing on some knowledge I found. Its possible that Twitter is not recognizing your phone number and seeing your initial text as an attempt to make a new account. Twitter will not ask your name if it knows you already have an account. Its possible you put your number in wrong. I was forgetting my country code? If your in the U.S. remember to put "+1" before your number. Should have a total of ten digits after the "+" -

Hi. Yes, this happens when Twitter can't match the phone number that sent the confirmation code with the phone number that was saved in http://twitter.com/devices
Kindly see the reply in this related thread, which describes how to remedy the situation. -

Seiizure reported a problem in Twitter on June 07, 2008 22:38:
My phone verifies, but creates me a new account when I already have one?I made an account today, and seemed to get along fine with everything with no problem until I tried to verify my mobile device.
I followed all instructions; I put my phone number in the little box, clicked the button, and it gave me a code and a number to send the code to. I did just that, and it sent me back a reply asking for security measures, what my name was. I have a terrible memory, and thought they had asked my name when I registered; so I put 'Ashley'. Send. It sent me back a message saying I was set up for the account Ashley35. And I kind of went, "Uh, what the heck?" I searched up the username, and low and behold, every message I had sent via text was on this 'Ashley35' account. With some fooling around on Twitter, I managed to sign in on that account, delete my mobile number from it, and delete the account.
So I did something wrong, right? I figured if I just tell them what my username is, there isn't a problem. It should work this time.
Re-logged in on my account.
This time, when I verified my number and gave them my username, they made ANOTHER account and all it did was tack on the little number one to the end of the username I ALREADY had. What the heck, again! So I did the same thing with the first account; got into that account it just created, deleted my number, deleted the account.
So now, I have no way of setting up my mobile number for twitter, because it just keeps creating me a new account when I want to use my own!
Is there any way to solve this problem?
