This article verifies what I just found earlier this week. That is that Sympatico had open SMTP servers and that they were on some black lists as detected by my spam filter.
Since I was expected email from a friend using Sympatico earlier this week, he called saying that he was having trouble sending mail. Said he was getting a strange error saying that the mail server was too busy and couldn't except his outgoing email through SMTP. I said, I'd take a look at it and didn't think that I probably shouldn't be able to reach the SMTP server from outside of Sympatico. But I could telnet to it and received the same error message from the SMTP server. Seems maybe they were disallowing any SMTP usage while they solved the problem or they were really busy as can be spewing out spam. Either way, I checked a few days later and couldn't reach the SMTP server from outside Sympatico and email has started flowing from this person without being detected as spam.
