Don't know if this is the problem, but I had problems getting mails
through some time ago, too.  For me the problem was that the source
address was myusername@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx$mycompany.$tld and
vger.kernel.org didn't want to take these because the host name had no
DNS entry.

I fixed that by rewriting the From line in outgoing mails on my host.
I'm using postfix (from Debian) so I had to add an entry to
/etc/postfix/sender_canonical.

Best regards
Uwe
