trying to figure out why mail is bouncing

[Joshua S. Freeman]

Hi all,

I live in NY now... I still have a server on my network in Boston and
that's what my wife and I use for *receiving* our mail.

My wife uses outlook for email on her mac laptop and uses optonline.net
(cablevision), our ISP here at home in NY, and their smtp server(s) for
outgoing mail.

I am writing this using pine sshed into my server there in Boston and
using the localhost as an smtp server.. the ISP here on this machine is
gnaps.com (global naps in quincy, MA).

Below is a message I tried to send to my wife's assistant who is obviously
using Verizon....

All messages that we send to her, no matter which smtp server we use, are
bouncing.  She reports that other mail is getting to her just fine.  What
is it about our setup that's making Verizon's servers reject mail sent by
both MY smtp server AND optonline.net's smtp servers?

TIA for any insights.

J.
