I'm of the opinion that anyone using AOL for their mail deserves what they get 
anyway.

It seems strange to me that it is claiming to be 'stacktrace' (which I presume 
is the machine name). The explanation in your mail doesn't mention that, I 
think. It's saying 'helo' and not providing a qualified hostname. Many 
mailservers will enforce that it does. Mine should be, yet the email got 
through, I should look into that.

However, because there are _so many_ badly configured mail servers out there, 
while rejecting on bad helo is OK, rejecting on helo not matching hostname is 
asking for a lot of dropped legitimate mail.

The fix I would do would be (assuming postfix on the sender):
add:
myhostname=stacktrace.mixxx.org
and in DNS, point stacktrace.mixxx.org to the mail server.
(you can't really use mail.mixxx.org as that's pointing to google)
