I am not sure if Source Forge explicitly discusses grey listing in their documentation, but strangely enough, just a few days ago, a friend of mine for whom my server acts as a mail relay (MX) asked me to check my server log for failure messages from Source Forge because he was having similar problems to the ones reported by Augusto. Along with the log extract, I suggested a number of things, and also mentioned that I had whitelisted the Source Forge sites in my grey lister. He did the same, and the problem went away -- so you figure it.
