maybe your ISP doesn't accept mail from the "outside" when the source
is not easily verifiable. You should ask your ISP since this error was
generated by their server.

I use a mail delivery agent on my local net to deliver mails directly
to the recipients. Since I have DSL I noticed that some mail servers
won't accept my mail directly - I didn't have that problem when I was
connected over the dial-up to my old ISP. For these recipients I now
use the mail server of my DSL provider as an intermediary.

Norbert
