If they did this, and, I presume you pay them for a service, complain to
their postmasters, mentioning the words "reliable mail delivery", and
explain that this means that they are accepting responsibility for
delivering the message. They must deliver it or a bounce. Point them to
RFCs 821 and 2821. Blackholing mail is *very* rarely legitimate, and on
a smarthost, is almost insane.
