Sending to the FreeBSD lists requires that:
1. the host you're sending from has an IP that has a PTR entry.
2. The PTR entry has a DNS entry.
3. Your host has to announce itself as a host with a DNS entry.
I suspect you need to configure Postfix to satisfy condition (3).
Dunno how to do that under Postfix, though.
