hi,
some MTA's check the ip of the sending MTA against the name with a reverse lookup.
IMHO you should send your mails via the MTA of
you ISP. just put the following line into ~/qmail/control/smtproutes
:mailserver.your.isp
and qmail will happily send all mails to the mailserver of your isp. this one should
be known worldwide.
hope that helps
:) alexander
