This isn't the case of subscribing through work and sending from home or whatever. In both cases I sent from home, indeed from the same account in the same mail client. Only the path the message took to list.gentoo.org changed.
I hadn't posted to this for quite a while until recently. When I did so again a few days ago, the message hung up in my outgoing queue and I got this message in the log: May 7 16:09:56 texada postfix/smtp[23864]: 7D46150B55: to=<gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org>, relay=lists.gentoo.org[140.105.134.102], delay=15242, status=deferred (host lists.gentoo.org[140.105.134.102] said: 421 4.4.1 collect: read timeout on connection from m198-163.dsl.rawbw.com, from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (in reply to end of DATA command)) I let it stew for a couple of hours in case this was a greylist thing, and subsequent resends did the same thing. I switched my client to relay though my ISP's MX, and the message went through fine. I'm guessing I'm running afoul of some anti-spam measure. Perhaps it is a case of reverse-DNS points to my ISP and not to my own domain, but a near-infinite number of people must share that condition. Or maybe my mailer is just misconfigured in some narrow way that none of my correspondents have had trouble with until now. I'd like to fix my system and lose the outbound relay, having something of an ideological opposition to my mail going through relays. Does anyone know what is going on here?
