This seems very odd. There's no way for Insight to know an email doesn't
exist [unless its one of their own users].
What do you mean by invalid email address? I can imagine the situation you
mention occuring in either:
1) You're sending to an invalid Insight user and they're being clever.
2) You've done an illegal email address, ie) not an invalid one that
doesn't exist, but a 'string' that cannot be an email address. In that
case, the mail server could be blocking yeah.
Is this making sense?

Stop using the email address from your ISP ;)
