As the bounce message suggests -- I'm sure someone will provide chapter 
and verse on this shortly, but could the problem be that 
txsmtp01.texas.rr.com. doesn't actually exist in the DNS? A lot of 
machines will (quite rightly) reject mail from apparently bogus domains..

eland:knellm~$ dig @ns1.texas.rr.com. txsmtp01.texas.rr.com. ANY
