NP: please upgrade. 2.6 has been obsolete for many years now.

"Access Denied" is a very big clue. It is the message produced when an
http_access, http2_access or http_reply_access deny rule happens.

ABC Television most likely do not provide a relay service. The contact
person at webmaster_at_xyz.com appears to be a domain squatter, so good
luck getting that olicy changed.

Hint: There are very good reasons people use "example.com" instead of
random names when trying to hide critical details. Please look those
reasons up.
