Something that might help the discussion:

I am using picolisp as the mailing list software for the Greek database
community.  However, in order to mitigate issues with mail receivers I
relay outgoing email via Mailgun (it can be any of the mail sending relays
not them especially). It costs something like $7 per month (depends on the
volume) but complains went away.  Ping me privately if you want to discuss
this further.
