I think that is probably due to your MTA running on a dynamic IP connection=
,=20
which are blacklisted for abuse by spammers most of the times. How about yo=
u=20
using a smarthost (probably your ISP's mail-server) to deliver your mails f=
rom
your postfix. I'm using the similar way with Postfix running on my local ma=
il
server, relaying all outgoing mails via Google's SMTP servers.
