That being the case, if you have a small range of IP's you might
consider testing from one of your different IP's.  If that works then
you can move your Mail server to the new IP.

I've had to deal with this a couple of times.  It's never very much
fun.  Still perseverance will pay off.

Good Luck - Jon
