Im pretty sure thats not my IP. What do i do?
 
That IP address belongs to Apple, and is where your .Mac account e-mail is being routed through. SORBS appears to have flagged .Mac accounts as possible spam producers and somebody is using their database to block your e-mails.

I'm sure someone who knows more about this sort of thing will be along to help, but I think you can contact SORBS through their Support system to try to get yourself off the list.

Ah,, thank you very much. Its a bit of a pain, do some work from home time to time, and send it work, would cause problems if i got there, and my email hadnt sent.

Send it to yourself (.mac-->.mac), then check the .Mac at work. Best way to do it! :D
