I had problems recently and got them resolved; needed my DNS host to 
resolve back to what my SMTP MTA was claiming it's name was (which was 
the name of an internal server by host...) with the HELO command, as I 
recall.  A day or two later I'd get the note that my post was rejected; 
the admin for the mailing list said once my DNS was altered so "host 
<name>" reversed properly to the name given by my MTA I'd be okay.  Lo 
and behold, an hour later I was all fixed up and able to post.

anyway, what is the error you're getting in the bounce?
