That message comes from Postini when it has blacklisted the IP address
that is connecting to it to deliver the mail. If this blacklisting is
improper, you can try to submit a sender complaint at
<http://postini.com/about_postini/complaints.php>, but they generally
just stonewall and redirect you somewhere outside Postini.

Ironically, about a month ago, they started blocking mail from my
msapiro.net server, so I couldn't send (B)Ccs to myself. This was
apparently because my (fixed with proper rDNS) IP was in the middle of
a dslextreme generic block. The only response I got from Postini was
"contact value.net". Fortunately, value.net was able to get my IP
whitelisted.

FYI, you can bypass Postini by mailing to me at the mail.value.net
domain instead. Also, because of continuing problems I have with this
service, I will soon be using a different primary email address which
should avoid all of this.
