Check that your ISP's reverse DNS works. As do many other mail servers, the FreeBSD list server appears to do a reverse lookup before accepting mail from your ISP's mail server. If no reverse is found, it doesn't accept the mail. Had issue with this over the last few days, junior tech broke reverse lookup for an IP address which included our mail server (too many PTR responses). in checking the logs, the freebsd server was responding; @400000003c72a509258b0bbc delivery 3669: deferral: XXX.XXX.XXX.XX_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_450_Client_host_reject ed:_cannot_find_your_hostname,_[XXX.XX.XXX.XX]/Giving_up_on_XXX.XXX.XXX.XX./ quick dig showed that reverse wasnot working forthe mail server. Fixed the dns issue, then forced qmail to flush the queue... delivered as expected. Knowing the technical capability and quality network design of the cable ISP's... would not be surprised if something in their reverse is broken. Took us a few months to teach Sprint technicians how to properly delegate a class C... shown the type of technical capability in these larger organizations.
