This is a case where VERP is a very, very, good thing. With regards to
iname.com in particular, I went through exactly the same thing with them.
I finally (after days of trying) called them up on the phone and said if
they didn't help me, they were going to be blackholed. They then helped
me.
Unfortunately, based on your email address you seem to be in Norway, so
it's not a cheap call.
