Just an idea: I've had similar problems, for example with hotmail users.
The problem seemed to have been, that my server name was not properly
set (it wasn't set at all).
While I was waiting for my isp to tell me the correct settings, I added
the user, that executed the mail-scripts, to the trusted-users file.
