Thanks for the information. I did check dnsstuff.com and there were some warnings form my domain, but nothing that looked critical. I did the spam check and it had a yellow warning on PDL and a red on URBL. The link to Decludes site stated that everyone fails the URBL. So I assume that is expected. Does that mean that the problem is likely on the other end?

It  means  that the remote server is telling you that it's temporarily
down,  so that your messages will be retried rather than bounced. This
is  either  (a)  true  temporary  downtime  on  their  part,  or (b) a
convoluted  way of telling you that they don't *your* mail "right now"
due  to  private  or  public  blacklisting  (or even experimental, and
ill-advised,  graylisting).  In  most  (b) cases, you won't be able to
fix/work around the issues before the queue lifecycle is up, so they'd
have  been more helpful by just sending a 5xx so you could get to work
faster. Check out www.dnsstuff.com for information about your outgoing
IP.
