This didn't make it to ports on the first send a few weeks ago, because
(ironically) our IT people messed up the HELO message when they installed a
new mail server, and so my email was rejected.

Lots of companies have email go through their mailservers (which
are the only machines reverse-dns-able). If they screw up the host
specified in HELO (or let a non-reverse-dnsable machine handle the
mail-queue), freebsd.org rejects email from the entire company. This has
happened twice here at wgate.com.
