Yes, that's the one, and here is the error:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host mx1.d2.net.au[202.147.78.66] said: 550

It rather looks as if your mailer is trying a reverse check and can't
find me, which is wrong as my email address works just fine.
Of course - the problem is always someone elses fault.

One of your nameservers isn't responding. That's going to cause, at minimum,
delays, and in some cases a complete inability to resolve - quite possibly
what's happening here.
Your MX record is an IP when the RFC stipulates that it must be a name. This
will cause RFC-compliant MXes to be unable to send you mail.
The IP you stipulate as an MX doesn't have a reverse dns lookup. Checking to
see if an IP has a reverse lookup is a common anti-spam technique; not
having a reverse lookup means some people are going to refuse mail from you.
The report mentions that it couldn't connect to your mailserver. It says
this may be a timeout issue, is it times out after only 40 seconds, so mail
to your domain may or may not work.
