I'm fairly sure it's the dynamic ip that's causing it. Below is the bounce message. My machine passes the open relay tests(does not relay) and port 25 is not open to the outside anyway. I am on a dynamic ip, so I assume that's the cause.
I know a lot of ISPs use blacklists that wipe out any "dialup" address space, presumably including the RoadRunner DHCP space, under the assumption that only spammers will be running SMTP from the dialup space, and legitimate users will relay through the ISP's mail server. A sad fact of life in the spam battle.
Your best bet might be to use SMTP AUTH through a server like the TriLUG one, or alternately set your MTA to smarthost-relay to the RoadRunner mail server, thus avoiding the problem.
