Been reading about this stuff for hours. I gotta say that spf might be the
thing to try first. It does not prove who you are, but it is supposed to
make the big mail companies feel warm and fuzzy to know you are trying to
prove you 'are you'.

SO I will do that first (especially since it does not require any
installation stuff)

On a side note...just got the RHEL annoucement. Huge kernel patch
coming...woof.
