I hope you aren't SPAMMING 'cause then we have to 
send the DOGS after you...

SERIOUSLY, if the to_address isn't on the server 
you are connecting to, and they aren't enabled
to relay to that domain, then nothing you can do
will change that.

One of the following:

-- You are connecting to the target mailserver
directly:  you must have screwed up the to_address.

-- You are using your ISP's relay:  It's mis-
configured?  Dunno.  Maybe they don't like your
face  :-)

-- You are using a third party relay without 
permission:  SPAMMER, GET THEE BEHIND ME!

I really hope it's the first.
