Chris....

Are you sending mail from your PC or your server?? I tried to ping 
216.34.13.240 and it was "not available". I would guess that the receiving 
mail server is setup to reject SMTP connections from dialup accounts. Many 
ISPs have provided their Dialup IP addresses to MAPS and ORBS in order help 
prevent spamming from the modem accounts.
