Sounds like they maybe blocking that on their network. If that is the
case there is nothing that can be done. IMHO, blindly denying a service
like that is not the way to control a service. That is what I really
like about the Qmail/Vpopmail package. The pop before smtp function is
a great idea and controls relaying to who should be able to relay. It
uses the same files you are using but does it automatically and then
will expire the ip after a period of time that you set.
