Our local ISP is etisalat UAE , we are facing DNS issues and many mails are bouced back or delay in delivery. Now we are relaying mails through our service provider where our domain is hosted and this is in USA - World link communications.
Can you post an error message that comes with the bounce back ?

asking whether any possibiltiy of mails getting filtered as spam or something in relay server.

In this particular case I would diagnostic the transmission by using SMTPDIAG from Microsoft.

Just expand the file on your drive. Open a command window and point to the folder you expanded it.
Then type: smtpdiag youremail@address.com your@destination.com -d DNSSERVERIP /v
The first is your email address
The second is your destination email address
the third "-d" is the DNS IP used to solved all MX Queries
The last "/v" = verify and returns all details for each steps
You'll get a result of of this test. Copy it and paste it here.
So this way you'll have something to work with.
Also try to be as specific as possible. In one of your message you say that emails are bouncing back and in the next one, you say it doesn't. This will really help me to help you ;-)
