Sounds like you're using your ISP's mail server as the default 
destination in your smtproutes, and your ISP has instituted a policy 
against accepting mail from anything but a mail client.  They probably 
refuse to relay any message that already has a Received header.

I'd imagine that they're doing this because users on your network have 
open relays, and your ISP is trying not to be the output end of a 
multi-hop open relay.

Not sure there's a good answer for you... Call your ISP and work it out.
