I think you should mention the fact that it is the hostname announced in the HELO command that is the problem in this case. I had exactly the same problem with mail being sent from one of my systems because it was using an internal hostname in its HELO command. The fix was simple enough, but I needed to know it was the HELO command that caused the problem so that I could alter that part of my MTA's config. I got that info from my maillog in the end, but it would be helpful if it was in the FAQ. Andrew.
