I don't have this problem with any other list I subscribe to. I run my own mail servers, but do not run my own reverse DNS. Could this be the problem? Even so, why would Redhat be that paranoid?

Because your DNS won't resolve.

Your mail server may handle mail for zonekeeper.org and harland-wolfe.zonekeeper.org, but only the 2nd one resolves, so if you use an address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] the problem should go away.
