Greetings!

	I have had the same problem with mail sent to Tom.

	My error message reads:  *Undeliverable - Bad Return Address.*

	The ISP that receives Tom's mail has a filter by http://www.orbs.org
that will reject mail from ISPs who do not have software protection
against spammers.  Evidently, my ISP, and possibly Greg's, can have 3rd
parties dump spam thru them and have their identity totally concealed. 
Amazing how the sins of the few can affect the many.

	I have fired off a letter to my ISP - they are aware of this but don't
know what is being done.

	If you go to the Url above, you can click on the heading below and this
is the message that you shall receive:::

"My mail is being blocked by a mailserver subscribing to ORBS" 

        Your E-mail server, or one or more servers trusted by your
E-mail server, has a security problem that permits spammers to use the
machine to send out their spam, although they are not authorised users
of your mailserver.
            
        Your server was reported to us, most likely because someone
received spam relayed through it. We tested it, confirmed it permits
third-party relay, and placed it in our open relay database. At the same
time, we sent notification to the RFC822-required postmaster@ account on
the system telling them why it had been included and what needed to be
done in order to get out of the database. 
            
        Many admins have set their mail servers up to check our database
and refuse mail from hosts confirmed as open relays. If this is the
case, it is your site administrator's responsibility to fix the open
relay in order to comply with the wishes of the admin of the remote
site. ORBS only databases open relays by IP address, not by name. 
            
        Do not mail us complaining that you have been blocked from
sending mail somewhere. We are not the ones blocking your mail. You need
to mail the administrator of the server doing the blocking, not us. -
Because your mailserver is being blocked, you will need to do it from
another account. There are a large number of sites offering easily set
up "free" web-based accounts, so this isn't usually difficult. 
            
        There are no rights of passage on the Internet other than those
granted by individual server administrators. You do not have the right
to deliver mail to anyone who does not wish to receive it. The
administrators of the mailserver blocking your mail have decided they do
not wish to receive mail from insecure machines vulnerable to abuse by
spammers. 
            
        If you are not the administrator of your mail server, please
forward the error message you received to that administrator. (S)he
needs to fix the problem (which isn't hard to do) and then tell us that
it's been fixed.
            
	If you are the administrator of your mail server, you can get more
information here.
