Hi,

I repeat yet again, the IP here is not mine but that of Orange/Telkoms SMTP 
server therefore it is only them who can clean their IP addresses therefore 
making your 

I terminated my lease line service with Orange/Telkom and moved to the better 
option, now it seems I have no alternative but to also move my domain hosting 
from them especially now that they are about to lay off 400 employees which from 
the previous such exercises had tended to remove the workers and leave behind 
the politicians.

@ Yawe et al,

The 554 error you get is actually an error indicating that your MTA
has been blocked. This could be because your IP is sending spam either
intentionally or (usually) unintentionally.
Your isp therefore no longer trusts your ip and has hence quarantined
it, for a while.

This is usually cleared up when you clean and patch up your LAN and
whitelist your IP, on the RBL lists or occasionally manually on your
ISP's smtp server.

This hardly is the mistake of the isp, rather a lapse in vigilance on
LAN security issues.
