That could be it. Many MTA's require the sending MTA to be resolvable
(reverse lookup).

Requiring a reverse lookup of the sending MTA is a form of spam blocking. We put
the rule in place for about a week and a half on our server. Kept out an amazing

Can anyone tell me why Redhat's list server is rejecting my subscription
