[RTTY] This is why you are having trouble with the reflector

[RTTY]

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.
