I have turned up the log level to "all info" and will post some
details later. But here is what I finally get back from msn.com when
a mail is returned.
Actually, the bounce looks like it's coming from your own server
(Reporting-MTA: dns; smtp.insideout.com). The headers would tell you for
sure.

:::: Failed Mail Message ::::

Failed to deliver your message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
SMTP: The host does not maintain the SMTP mail service
Cannot speak with 'smtp-gw-4.msn.com' for 2 hours.

Reporting-MTA: dns; smtp.insideout.com

Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0


:::: Failed Mail Message ::::


Any ideas?  The account is active and valid and works, so I am baffed
on what is going on.
If the recipient account were inactive or non-existent, you'd get a bounce
from msn.com citing an 'unknown user' error. The line 'Cannot speak with
'smtp-gw-4.msn.com' for 2 hours' indicates that your server is having
trouble connecting to the msn.com server. FWIW, I can connect successfully
to smtp-gw-4.msn.com on port 25 from where I am.

Aftering trying to port scan from my SMTP server to smtp-gw-4.msn.com I could not, so I have changed the IP of my SMTP server and now I can send mail.

Why would MSN.com block my IP address from sending email? I am not a spammer, nor do I or have I have had an open relay.
