true. better use soapnut.dk in myhostname. Although I doubt this will
help a lot:

- "some" sites will block if the PTR is generic... too many zombies out
there...

- OP's reverse DNS is borked:
$ host 188.183.91.18
18.91.183.188.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
0xbcb75b12.cpe.ge-1-1-0-1112.hcnqu2.customer.tele.dk.
$ host 0xbcb75b12.cpe.ge-1-1-0-1112.hcnqu2.customer.tele.dk.
Host 0xbcb75b12.cpe.ge-1-1-0-1112.hcnqu2.customer.tele.dk. not found:
3(NXDOMAIN)

so OP not only has a "generic" name, but it doesn't resolve back to the
IP. If he can get his ISP to fix his reverse (preferably using a custom
reverse), then maybe things will get better.
