It's interesting that the blacklist service your ISP uses happens to block your IP address, but it's pretty common for blacklists to contain IP address blocks that are assigned dynamically, or specific IP addresses that were used by spam. At any rate, it may not even be worth trying to get your IP address unblocked if it's dynamic. The usual way to make this work is by using a "smart relay." In other words, instead of trying to send the email directly, it's handed off to your ISP, who delivers it on your behalf: http://www.dnsexit.com/support/mailrelay/postfix.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
