It looks to me like you're sending out to a large list, some of which are getting bounced. Is that right?

Like Dean says, you have to investigate each of the rejecting servers. Although in case of the 'relay denied' bounce, they may all have a common cause, such as:

-you or your ISP may be RBL listed
-you may not have, or not properly have, reverse lookup
-some of the senders/repliers may be sending from a non-routable address, like [EMAIL PROTECTED]

etc...

Yep, but the actual one that includes the text:

smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay
or
smtp;554 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Relay access denied
or
smtp;550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown

working backwards through the headers you can trace back which machines
the email passed through and identify the possible server causing the
problem

for the example below (which is your reply to me from this list) we can
see that:

It was sent from the list by intm-dl.sparklist.com ([64.62.197.83])
It was received by by a202-36-175-99.(none) (our firewall)
It was passed on to our AV SMTP gateway nrc15.nrc.govt.nz (Clearswift
SMTPRS 5.2.5)
It was then passed onto our exchange server nrc86.nrc.govt.nz

Once we can identify the sever where the "unable to relay " error came
from , then we can work in more detail with that server.
