I did an nslookup on this mail.minspring.com and it's okay
what should I do next?
thanks

 
Can you connect to the server you find in the MX record? Telnet port 25. Looks like they have about 13 to choose from
 
Yes I have DSL
and I went to to check on the relay database, it look like there's a third party relay list that black list us. So BESTCT, I think we are both black listed.

what is the mx record?
