I'm getting the same errors for a number of subscribers. I tried writing to
[log in to unmask] directly and got the same error. They seem to have
installed the standard anti-spammer filter to prevent relaying, and made the
common error of filtering everything. Eventually they'll figure it out and
fix it.
