It's hard to give you a definitive answer since you didn't identify the error. However, Craigslist says that in an effort to curb abuse of its email servers and limit the amount of spam inflicted upon its users, it does not accept email from computers with dynamically assigned IP addresses, or hosts that have generic DNS setup.

The easiest solution may be to use the mail server of your ISP to relay your email. If you're not sure how to set up your mail client to do this, you may need to phone your ISP. If you have a static IP address and want to be able to send email through your own mail server, you will need to ask your ISP to set up non-generic DNS for your IP address.

If these suggestions don't work, you may want to use one of the many free Web-based email systems. You'll find more information on this Craigslist page.
