I think you should mention the fact that it is the hostname announced in 
the HELO command that is the problem in this case.

I had exactly the same problem with mail being sent from one of my 
systems because it was using an internal hostname in its HELO command. 
The fix was simple enough, but I needed to know it was the HELO command 
that caused the problem so that I could alter that part of my MTA's 
config. I got that info from my maillog in the end, but it would be 
helpful if it was in the FAQ.

Andrew.
