I concur with Philip on this. SpamCop recently blacklisted a few domains and
addresses that employ challenge/responsive-based spam filters. Check if your
mail server is included. It seems rather apparent that some service does not
flag your messages as spam, but stops them at the gate.
With kind regards,
