Can swift mailer be blocked by server admin?
I have been using swift for many months now, with no problems, all of the sudden it no longer works, I've tested my configuration many times on my server and everything is working. I know thier IP address is not being blacklisted, because I can still use a simple sendmail, and I've got no blacklisting turned on - on my mailserver, which is one of the addresses that my reciepts go to. I've also checked with the server admin to see if thier mailserver name changed, or if it was down, and they said everything was fine. So... is it possible that they themselves are blocking the script from working on thier server, and why would they want to do that, if that was the case?

What superdezign and I said might sound to few people with not much knowledge like two exactly opposite answers, so I wanted to make it clear so the original poster doesn't get confused:
What superdezign meant was that they can block you emails and it doesn't conflict with what I said - that Swift itself can't be blocked (in general). By that I mean that there is no (reaosnable) way to block the Swift Mailer library itself (e.g block Swift Mailer without stopping PHP Mailer at the same time).

Fully functional
The emails are now getting through, I did not change anything on the scripts -
very weird.
