Hi, Bill... I just went through a lot of trouble straightening out a problem with my mail server and delivery of mail it generated. I was being blacklisted by GoDaddy.com and SORBS, at the the very least...not sure about AOL and Yahoo... The problem turned out to be (at least for SORBS and GoDaddy.com) that sounds what you described below: My outgoing mail server identification was not matching my Reverse DNS...most mail system identify this mismatch as a spam machine and cut off delivery of your mail. I run my own mail server and have a static IP, but SORBS was showing the IP as dynamic, too...another problem. I straightened out the issue by having my ISP, who assigned the IP, to change my Reverse DSN (rDNS) to match my outgoing identifying DNS for my mail server and with 48 hours, I was off SORBS and unblocked by GoDaddy.com for mail being routed to clients through their mail servers. Sounds like your problem is with Reverse DNS...at the very least, get your Reverse DNS to match mail.rawbits.com...

Not clear if they are related to SPF, or if they are from a DNS Blacklist, or something else altogether. I've tested my SPF and it seems to be valid (results of port25.com mail check below). I note that my outbound HELO is ms44.ihwy.net and not mail.rawbits.com, but I'm not sure what I can do about that.
