Telkom SMTP Server Problems ( again ! )

"Recipient address rejected: Policy rejection 559 Blacklisted due to illegal HELO or SpamTrap"

What is causing this ? Why are Telkom preventing email going to certain addresses ?

Seems like the Telkom/SAIX SMTP server is blacklisted.

I remember having this exact problem about 2 months ago. I emailed Telkoms technical support with a copy of the blacklisting (forget now from which authority it was from) and after a few phonecalls I am still none the wiser as to the cause of this. In 8 out 10 cases when your mail server is blacklisted it is usually because of poor administrative\security settings.
