hmmm...

would that be so, because I'm sending the email straight to myself? It
would appear that mail is going straight to the receiver. I think this
was only a problem because the blacklist pushed it above the 3.0
threshold.

anyway, I disconnected my router and waited, and my IP address has
changed, so it's going now. :-)

It seems that back in 2003 it got added to the blacklist, but being
dynamic I got it.
