This is the mail system at host xxx.sub.example.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
                  The mail system

<x...@xxxx.xxx>: host mx.smtp.xxxx.xxx[ip] said: 554 5.7.1 R:DNS
   - Message sourced from 70-81-125-2.client.isp.com [70.81.125.2] not

command)

you should apparently use SMTP servers of your employer when you send mail
from your work mail address (r...@example.com). Only your employer's mail
servers are allowed to send mail with @example.com as from address.

configure postfix to use SMTP authentication and employer's SMTP servers.

Your IP address appears on the SMTP gateway blacklist. This means that you will 
not be able to send email messages directly from your computer
system to any address here that passes through the SMTP gateway. You will need 
to use your ISP's mail servers to relay your email
messages. Please consult your ISP if you need assistance.

If you are attempting to send mail from a static IP address or you otherwise 
believe that your address should not be blocked, please contact
our helpdesk via telephone at  or via email.


I am not sure what to do here, but would appreciate any advice. What I do not 
understand also is if I use VPN, why does it go through the
ISP server which is blacklisted?

are you sure it goes through your ISP server?

postfix tries to deliver mail directly by default, so it's apparently your
home address that is blacklisted.
