Not only do you have to masquerade your email headers, you also have
to masquerade your envelope so that your internal machine's FQDN isn't
seen by the receiving MTA. hub.freebsd.org is *very* picky about all
the domain-names it sees. The way I got around this was to have in my
m4 macro files:
MASQUERADE_AS(logisticsoftware.co.nz)
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
