e-mail will not deliver to isp e-mail accounts

[smithssc]

I am able to send mail to my gmail account and one or two other accounts, but not to my isp e-mail account and another domain I have set up. I am trying to send from VsiFaxServer@ssc.local. And also from root@ssc.local using the mail command at the prompt. When I check the new messages, I found the returned messages below.

Code:
Message 398:

Why am I receiving the errors above?



This one works:

Code:
# nslookup -qt=MX imcsite.com
Server: dnsc1-vp.la.centurylink.net
Address: 209.142.182.250

Non-authoritative answer:
imcsite.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.imcsite.com

Some ISP's require that they ID the sending machine, usually by using RIP. Make sure your firewall allows RIP requests through.

Also try calling the ISP directly and ask them to check their logs for specific problems. Some smaller ISP's really can only handle Windows or Apple machines, using ID protocols only available on those platforms.
