Yes.. true.. so I'm assuming that because I can send from 3 other email domains, like hotmail.com, then they might also have us blacklisted. The bounce recieved was that the user didn't exsist such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which would surely bounce. Either way I did catch the earlier posts concerning the MX tx/rx/tx structure and we were fortunate enough to convert them to our IMail system.
