You're sending your message with a return address @gmx.net, but 
gmx.net's SPF records read:

gmx.net.                300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 
ip4:213.165.64.0/23 -all"

Which means that your ISP says that anybody using a return address 
@gmx.net who isn't sending their mail via the 213.165.64.0/23 IP 
block is a lying spammer pretending to have a gmx.net address.  :)

Thus, any SPF-supporting mail server is going to think you're a 
spammer and block your mail, unless you send it through a 
gmx.net-supported SMTP server.
