You say this is your email queue, and pobox says it is contacted from IP 
address 65.254.18.67 .
If both are correct, then the email policy as published by wpi.edu is to NOT 
authorize this message.
Reason: you are sending from 65.254.18.67 which is not authorized in the 
wpi.edu policy.

Did I miss anything relevant from your message perhaps?
