Looks like your listed in the spamhaus DB. Allot of mail servers check these db's before accepting any mail.

That last one is because you not using a fully qualified domain name.

I recovered from the first one. Told them I'm running a mail server. That sorted that, in about half hour. They said it'd take that long before the maile servers etc around the world updated their databases.

The second one your right ofcourse, but I don't understand, it will happily mail to everyone, bar it's own tech supp lot. Rebilion?

It's hard to tell without seeing the complete mail headers. But you may want to in the future to xxx out the ip's and the emails unless you want that info archived here or people like me prodding at it'

Your mailserver is answering as is should be:

micxz@:~> telnet xx.x.xxx.xxx 25
Trying xx.x.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xx.x.xxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 tux Axigen ESMTP ready
HELO
250 tux Axigen ESMTP hello
MAIL FROM: someone@hotmail.com
250 Sender accepted
RCPT TO: johnh10000@localhost
