You need to make sure your mail server is set to HELO with an
Internet-routable address, otherwise hub.freebsd.org will reject it. I
have this in my sendmail.cf

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
Djntl.com

so that my machine HELOs (incorectly) as ntl.com.  I think this is some
kind of anti-spam measure, although I have found it very confusing in
the past.
