Simiyu,

You are wrong on this.

Yawe uses his ISPs SMTP server to send out e-mails. That server actually
accepts the e-mails (they have no reason not to unless Yawe's host is
compromised and they have established such checks) then sends the mail to
the destination. However, the destination refuses to accept the mail because
the sending host (ISPs SMTP Server) is blacklisted, hence Yawe's assertion
of "Dirty IPs". This is what you missed. Yawe doesn't seem to be running his
own MTA.
