It looks more like UAF doesn't allow relaying off of their server. Your coming
from alaska.net trying to relay through UAF to blackberry.net. If you used your
alaska.net as your smtp server then the message would go through. Do you have
multiple email accounts using one MUA? If so, when you send check to see which
one it is sending through, usually the one you have set as default.
