I've really been trying to fix this issue and cant figure out what the problem is. When I send mail from my unix box, I get this message. I dont have any issues on my other systemss but cant figure out what the diff is:

Apparently, you're on someone's reject list.
Is the result any different for a different
(non-root) user?

Well, you get the 550 after the "MAIL From:",
so I'd not be amazed by the same result if
you send a message _from_ the same _sender_.
What happens if you _send_ a message from a
different (non-root) user?

Ask the fellow who configured the server
who's doing the rejection.
