Not sure what to tell you, sorry. Appears to be an ISP issue to me.
You might consider using something like a free gmail account instead
thought that might be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Actually they are doing the right thing.
A discussion more suited to the EZMLM mailing list as debating it here
will not solve your issue because we are just using the software:

But it is also very pertinent here..
many people think that invalid return addresses are ok to accept
for delivery -- when the RFC's are pretty clear that they MUST
be rejected at the earliest point possible -- since without
a valid return address, no failure message can be sent --
and that is required.
If SA is running as a filter attached to a mailer, the SA documentation
should make it clear that ISP's should not accept mail for delivery if
the return address is easily verifiable as invalid. (like no address
"<>", or an invalid domain).
About 5-10 % (margin has been growing) of my incoming SPAM mail comes
from invalid or bogus domains, yet it's one of the easiest types of spam
to filter out before the email enters the system.
