Filter on postoffice.reston.mci.net

Okay, I give up. Apparently MCI has an SMTP filter either
on the domain netins.net or on something in the 167.142.0.0/16
network on postoffice.reston.mci.net.
[167.142.225.4]$ telnet postoffice.reston.mci.net 25
Trying 204.70.128.20...
Connected to postoffice.reston.mci.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 postoffice.Reston.mci.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.8.5/8.8.5; Wed, 24 Sep 1997 11:2)
HELO netins.net
250 postoffice.Reston.mci.net Hello kevin@worf.netins.net [167.142.225.4],
pleased..
MAIL FROM:<kevin@netins.net>
550 Access denied
QUIT
I've called the iNOC, they sent me to a 'systems group'. The systems
group listened carefully and wrote down the error code '550 Access
denied' before shuffling me off to the Reston office. There, I spoke
to a very nice sales person, who searched a list of voicemail boxes
she might forward me to.
We pay MCI good money, and find ourselves unable to send mail to
trouble@mci.net or other MCI addresses. Now I'm stuck in the MCI
phone maze. If there was an incedent warrenting an SMTP filter,
we'd certainly deal with it if notified. I know if that happened
with one of our downstream customers, we'd actually contact them
before throwing in filters.
Anyone know who takes care of postoffice.reston.mci.net ?
