I'm not sure, but doing a reverse DNS on your IP address didn't seem to
resolve to an actual domain name. If you are sending through an ISP SMTP
mail server, then harang your ISP as they should have reverse DNS set for
their mail server. If you are sending through your own server, then I'm not
entirely sure how you would fix it.

This mail did indeed not come through to the list, and only came to me.
I've cc'd it back to questions for you.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Mark
