There seem to be a few problems at bellsouth.net that might trigger
rejections by some mail systems

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=bellsouth.net

I had a few problems myself before finally getting my domain
configured correctly

There are still a few systems that will not accept mail from me,
earthlink.net comes to mind.

Earthlink refuse to answer emails requesting clarification since their
suggested reasons are not applicable to me - My IP is static, I
have never sent UCE, publish SPF records and the reverse DNS is OK too
