Has nothing to do with your mail client. ORBL has your ISP listed as an open
relay SMTP server, which makes it a target for spammers to send their junk.
Try contacting your ISP and tell them that they have an open relay, and ask
them to secure their server so that valid mail doesn't get blocked. Barring
that, the only way you're going to get mail to atlantic.net is to use a
different SMTP server (try using your mac.com address to email this person,
if you have one)
>From URBL's help page:
Q: My message was rejected as spam, and I was sent to this web page. I do
not send spam! Why was my email blocked?
A: We are glad you do not send spam, but unfortunately the mail server your
email was sent though can be easily tricked in to sending large amounts of
spam. It is the hope of ORBL.org that bringing attention to vulnerable mail
servers will result in the system administrators of those mail servers
securing their mail servers from open mail relaying. Contact the system
administrator for your mail server and forward him a copy of the bounced
email you received. The standard system administrator email account for an
Internet mail server is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". For example; If the
name of your ISP is Big-ISP.net then forward a copy of the bounced email to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
��ORBL.org has nothing against receiving legitimate email from you. It's the
junk email that can be funneled through your mail server that we want to get
rid of. Once your mail server has been secured, ORBL.org will be more than
happy to remove the listing of your mail server.
Hope this helps,
Laurie
