Does your outgoing mail go thru out013pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.44]? That
server is blacklisted becasue it is an open relay. I had to whitelist the
verizon.net domain because some of my employer's customers use verizon
addresses and the admins at verizon insist that that server is not an open
relay.
I tested it. It _is_ an open relay. Here is a copy of a test email from
abuse.net

This is a test of third-party mail relay, generated via the
Network Abuse Clearinghouse at http://www.abuse.net.
Target host = 206.46.170.44 verizon.net
Test performed by <carville AT cpl DOT net> from 209.189.103.195
A well-configured mail server should NOT relay third-party email.
Otherwise, the server is subject to abuse by vandals and spammers,
and probable blacklisting by recipients of the unwanted third-party
e-mail.

relay, visit <URL: http://www.mail-abuse.org/tsi/>.

I also tested by the good 'ol telnet to port 25 and type in the commands by
hand method.
