Probably not TB! messages, but rather servers filtering out IP addresses or blocks of addresses. Many ISPs use RBLs (realtime blackhole Lists) as their defense against SPAM (along with many other ways). Before a message is accepted by SMTP, it is sent to these lists (there are several), and if the block of IP addresses shows up, the mail is rejected for receipt. > Any comments/suggestions would be > appreciated.

See if you can get your hands on the rejected full header from the person who received this. Also, you might want to check a few ORBs to see if your IP address/range is blacklisted.
