It looks like Earthlink is checking to see if you are relaying through its server, presumably the check is on the incoming IP. Earthlink is checking your IP for one of its own and then refusing the connection when it is not. Well that is my reading of the message above.
The issue is why does Earthlink want to check for relaying when you are delivering to one their own hosted accounts. I suspect that the problem is that their lookup either is not fast enough or they have a corrupted back up. Either way it does not realise that you trying to deliver legitimate mail and not relay. It should accept all mail from non customers who are trying to deliver mail to a local account. And all mail to anyone from their own customers.
I can not see how iMS can confuse Earthlink into this behavior but I will be interested to see the result of the enquiries. Is it going from a null address to earthlink? My experience is that no matter what the RFC says too many mail servers when accepting mail from a null address will do stoopid things.
I take it you have checked to make sure it is a legitimate mail address?
Can you telnet in and try to deliver mail to that address ?
Is it all earthlink address or just some and is it the same ones every time?
Is it just Earthlink or are you getting the same message with other mail servers?
Sorry I can not be of more help .
