Very well. I think the problem is your DNS. When I try to look up the MX record 
for montague.lin.msu.edu, I find none. If the 'verify sender address' mechanism 
cannot find a MX record, it doesn't know which server to use to verify the 
sending address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Some servers, in the absence of a MX record, 
will use an A record. But absence of a MX record is a possible spam indicator. 
montague.lin.msu.edu needs a proper MX record.
