Phil,

You are not connecting to the SMTP server - as the message said,
getaddrinfo failed, and it's considered a temporary failure.

A lot of things could cause this. A bad domain name, a hiccup in the
DNS you're using, a bad "hosts" file entry, a firewall are some examples.

Can you telnet to smtp.erols.com port 25 from your server?
