Hello Lenny!

Many mail servers are configured filtering mailers with IP addresses 
listed in
some DNS based blacklists. Course many spammers doing their black
works on dinamic IP spools (listed in DSBL I think), many of mailservices
using this blacklist. Try to findout your IP there:

There you can read about antispam technology.
