The problem with that was email to some domains bounced with a 'DNSBL' message. I found a newsgroup for my ISP, and found quite a few messages from people with the same problem I was seeing. My ISP (SWBell.net) has been bought/merged by Yahoo. There was an 'upgrade' to switch to yahoo, and once I performed the upgrade, I moved to another smtp server, and the problem is resolved. Thanks for the reply.
