tempreject tells the remote mail server that you are temporarily not
accepting their Email. Almost all mail servers will retry to send the
message for up to 5 days or so.
In the meantime, you have the option to read your logs, inspect mails that
you are rejecting (if you enabled the option to save them on disk) and
possibly whitelist the mail so that you accept it next time it comes around
