Have you tried a different transport method? Perhaps SMTPAUTH?
Is your webserver running Windows or Linux?

My web server runs Linux (Bluehost.com). My email transport system is currently set to PHP. Should this be changed to Qmail? Only about 10 out of 59 emails were returned with that delivery error. Thanks.
