This doesn't explain why some emails sent to ucalgary.ca get through first
try. Secondly, though many emails retry a number of times, they seem to
eventually get through; we don't get any bounced messages.
On another point, I don't think we've ever set up reverse dns on our system.
Is this necessary? What's required?
