Basically, the most popular reason for the freebsd.org server not accepting your e-mail is due to your mail server not having a reverse-dns name. If this is the case with your ISP's server, then you should complain because it is a broken setup. So long as reverse-dns works, freebsd.org will more then likely accept your mail. Andrew.
