I think the people at Earthlink are either confused or lying to you.  It
sure looks like they have siteblast.com in a filter.  I get the same
"Access denied" response if I send "mail from:<anything at siteblast.com>" to
them.  I can't see any problems with the DNS for siteblast.com, so I don't
see how it can be a BIND problem.
