Praedor, what you're going to have to do make your postfix server reverse dns-able. the servers running the list won't accept mail from servers unless they can do successful reverse lookups on them. I had the same problem until three things happened. I got a cable connection that allows me a static IP, I set up dns and reverse lookup, and I started using NAT so that all the packets leaving my boxes all get the gateway's ip address. I don't know that the third one has anything to do with all this, but it helps me feel better about all the other stuff. Mark
