Nevin,
A few suggestions:
If you're using CDO, first make sure that you provide legitimate values for
both the Sender and From fields. Some servers reject messages if both
aren't populated.
Next, make sure the from/sender addresses are valid addresses for your
domain. Quite a few mailservers these days use a "sender verification"
method that attempts to resolve the sender's email address against the
originating domain before deciding to accept an inbound message from it.
For instance, if you just use a made-up address like
fortheheckofit@mydomain.com for convenience or to bitbucket spam replies, a
server using sender verification will get an "unknown recipient" response
from your server and then cancel the transaction.
You should also check if the IP address of your server is on one of the spam
blacklists. If it is, you'll need to get with your ISP and have them try to
get the address removed from the listings.
