And 3) Make sure your server's IP address reverse-resolves to the name of your server (or at least that it resolves to *something*). I've had mail rejected because reverse lookups of my virtual host's IP address didn't resolve to a name. I haven't noticed any failures due to the name not matching the MX record (mine does not), but it wouldn't surprise me. -- Derek D.
