Error sending: Need MAIL before RCPT

Yes. My provider, Earthlink is on the case now. They were telling me the original problem was with my message and the program. They seem to be owning this one. The address I'm using is whitelisted by them, so that's not the problem. I'll keep you posted when they make up my mind.
Thanks.

Just an update: Earthlink, my email provider is laying the blame on Cavtel/Winstream/Paetec my ISP.

Again, just keeping you up to speed:
Cavtel will change my RDNS to 69.172.50.93.mail.ozonline.tv
Both Cavtel and Earthlink believe that will resolve the issue.
Lordy, I hope so, I just want to be a business person, not a system engineer!

ARRRGGHHHH!!!!

I tried again and Earthlink is now opening a trouble ticket again.

Initially, they said it was the hyperlink included with the email. I stripped that out, and still the problem occurred.
