I've noticed a few changes also. For some strange reason, some mail servers
are doing reverse DNS lookups so if you're using your private e-mail SMTP
server to send mail under your own domain, the message might bounce because
the reverse DNS lookup returns your ISP's domain name instead of yours. Also,
some e-mail servers are using RBL's to stop spam and your IP may show up in a
spam list even though no spam comes from your system. Or a mail server uses a
PBL which is a range of dynamic IP's which get blocked also. I don't know why
mail systems are using these anti-spam methods because I've received very,
very few spam messages in the past couple of years.
