[TriLUG] Weird Mail question. Well, not all that weird

[Jon Carnes]

RoadRunner must have added a new check on their queued mail. Apparently
it's seeing the header put in by your mail server and then trashing it
based on the fact that it originated from a "smtp server" that is in a
dynamic address pool.

You could try a few config changes on your Mail server (like having it
masquerade as smtp-server.nc.rr.com) and see if that works, but I'll bet
the check is solely based on the reverse lookup of your servers IP
address.  That being the case...
