    I don't know anything about these spam RBLs you mention. How exactly
    would view these lists, and who would I contact to get my MTA removed?

    Thanks.

    The recipient MTA is definitely telling you the recipient address is not

    a valid address on their server. Now since you've munged it to:
    <*****@letsos.com> there's no way any of us can try it.

    Unfortunately some postmasters have been returning incorrect errors to
    suspected spammers so your problem may be as simple as you've gotten
    into a spam RBL. Have you checked your IP against spam RBLs? I don't
    approve of this kind of false reporting, but I've seen it discussed in
    the past few days on one of the anti-spam mailing lists I subscribe to.

    Or your server may have some kind of a slight problem with timing or
    with protocol syntax that the recipient server doesn't like, and the
    recipient server is returning the wrong error.

    Either find another admin you trust, and let him try from his
    mailserver, with a real address (he can try without actually sending a
    message, or he can send a test message from your return address or from
    your user's return address), or wait until you can talk to the
    recipient domain admins.
