Jake,

Some mail engines require that the sending domain have a valid reverse
lookup.  That is, it will do a reverse lookup on the originating IP and
check to see that the IP originates from a valid domain.  A reverse lookup
on fischercommunications.com (which is the destination) reveals that the IP
address belongs to web.digitronicweb.com.  If you do a reverse lookup on the
server's IP that is sending the mail, do you get a valid domain name?

I used http://eamnesia.com/hostinfo/ipinfo.jsp to do the lookup, btw.

HTH,
