TB emails regarded as spam?, Some emails are being returned back to me

I bought a new notebook and decided to stop using incredimail and switch to The Bat.  My old laptop is still on my desk and in use.  The Bat works great except for two things:

1) emails to my dad using TB are returned with this message:

Reporting-MTA: dns; node246.smtp.com
X-Postfix-Queue-ID: 0BD7936F2D6
X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; brent@kleinheksel.com
Arrival-Date: Tue,  1 Apr 2008 01:12:27 -0400 (EDT)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; larry@holland-homes.com
Original-Recipient: rfc822;larry@holland-homes.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Remote-MTA: dns; mx4.hrnoc.net
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554 Your email is considered spam (7.00 spam-hits)

I can send the same email using my old notebook using incredimail and it works just fine

2) another message I sent tonight got rejected using TB:

Reporting-MTA: dns; node246.smtp.com
X-Postfix-Queue-ID: ABA0636F2D2
X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; brent@kleinheksel.com
Arrival-Date: Tue,  1 Apr 2008 01:59:33 -0400 (EDT)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; josh@jayhemdesigns.com
Original-Recipient: rfc822;josh@jayhemdesigns.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Remote-MTA: dns; smtp.secureserver.net
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554 The message was rejected because it contains
   prohibited virus or spam content

I am noticing in these returned messages attachments titled "1.msg" which I think the server is rewriting as "1.msg" from "1.eml" as I got this error in another returned mail:

"This message has been rejected because it has a potentially executable attachment "1.eml".  This form of attachment has been used by recent viruses or malware."

so I am thinking that there is something set wrong in my TB which is attaching this "1.eml" attachment, which I cannot see, which is causing this problem with some server rejecting my mail as being spam.

I know it's TB because I can use the computer next to me, which runs on the same home wireless network, and all those emails work great.

I ran a mail virus scanner on the new PC but nothing was infected (Panda and Kaspersky)

let me know what you think!

Some providers consider The Bat! a spam tool. The reason for that is that there is a spamtools that can be set to use TB's name in the X-Mailer header in order to pose as a regular mail client.

The best way to prevent this kind of interception is by disabling the X-Mailer header. That can be done here:
Options -> Preferences -> General -> Disable 'Use X-Mailer header in messages'

thanks, that didn't work either.  I ended up trying thunderbird and the same issue occurred.  It's strange, no matter what email client I use, email to my dad bounces, but then using my old machine, it works fine.  I feel like pulling my hair out, at least i know it's not The Bat.  

I've tried everything...at this point, I just can't figure out what different one machine can make even though the connection method is the same, even the same typeof computer (ThinkPad)...headers match item for item...somehow something is inserting something into the email that I can't detect, even the scanners can't find anything...

Are you using a virus scnner or something like that that acts like a proxy server on your new notebook?
