As a few folks in here pointed out, I think some ISP's block emails from the 
customer IP addresses for some broadband carriers.  I started sending emails 
from my Sync system, but occasionally they would bounce back saying 
something about my IP is bad or blocked.  I'm now relaying all Sync SMTP 
mail through my ISP's SMTP server, and it seems to be working.

I've totally come to the conclusion that with ISPs blocking IP's, the 
increasing amount of spam, etc, email is really not reliable anymore.  It 
used to be as reliable as the postal system, but not anymore.  Now when 
someone wants to send me something important I always tell them to follow-up 
with a phonecall - or if they're sending me files I suggest FTP instead of 
email attachments.

Take care --
