Hi there,

this just means, that the administrator or provider operating the mailserver for "afi.com.sa" is using a blacklist to validate his emails (see http://unblock.secureserver.net/ ). But on this blacklist the whole ip range 213.210.252.* seems to be blocked. Your mailserver seems to be within that range .

Try to find out what is wrong at http://unblock.secureserver.net/ or try to contact the operator of this blacklist.
