EMail sending issues?

Question

I seem to be having mixed results when I get an email on my phone, using my wireless network at home or in public.
About 50% of the time I get a bounce "Server rejected Address" or something to that effect - when I am REPLYING to an incoming email.
The rest of the time it works. Sending and receiving email was one of the main reasons I bought the phone. Any idea what is up with this?
Thanks!

One suggestion for all having send problems.. I have found that using a service such as GoDaddy works very well with the iPhone. They provide domain registration and web email packages for reasonable prices (less than $20/yr).
I ran into a similar problem even with them and the answer ended up being you have to specify the port on the send server address:
Example:
GoDaddy's send server would be entered as follows:
smtpout.secureserver.net:80
Without specifying port 80, it automatically defaults to port 25 which depending on if you are EDGE connected or WiFi connected may or may not work.
You may be able to solve the problem for your specific ISP if you contact them and ask them for the specific port used.
If they can't help, services like GoDaddy appear to work.. Also a plus is the ability to have your own custom domain name..
Also another plus is that this particular service appears to handle the pop lock connect/disconnect issue smoothly which often happens when connected via EDGE.
