OK, there are two things that I dont understand.
I dont understand how the same mc file works on 8.0 and not on 9.0
and
you SAY that you are relaying thru smtpauth.earthlink.net, but I dont
see that line in your configuration file.

What you are seeing is the more-and-more common blocking of mail by
the big ISPs using a list of possible/probable spam addresses. My
understanding is that the (source) ISPs give the addresses to block, and
that this is not something that the middle man is generating, so in my
case COMCAST has said to block ALL of their addresses, and the only one
that is acceptable is one specific address that you are supposed to
SMART_HOST thru.
You have two choices,
(1) you can REALLY use the SMART_HOST for all of your mail, but some
of us find that the big ISPs cant even keep these machines up 100% of the
time,- you run into big (outgoing) mail delays. So there is solution (2)
(2) Continuing sending out your mail DIRECTLY, except for known
destinations that will bounce it. In this case you need to add a line to
your mc file to use the mailertable, viz
FEATURE(`mailertable')
then add a line to the /etc/mail/mailertable file of the form
earthlink.net esmtp:smtp.comcast.net
where the first field is the domain you want to route thru the 'smart host'
named in the 2nd field. (( Im on comcast,- thats their smtp relay )).
Note that you *may* have to say smtp or esmtp before the ':', experiment.
After this you do a
make mailertable.db
and you should be in business.
Ive just started doing this, as I couldn't get mail to my daughter on
earthlink without using my office email. There are others that have bounced,
and they will get added to the list when I mail to them again (and they
bounce again).
Hope that helps.
