Try sending it to an email outside of your domain like mytest at gmail.com or
whatever your mail is.
More than likely you reset or started some kind of program like spam
assassin. There are enough bad ips, urls, etc to just make it get killed by
spamassassin or any other kind of software for mail.

Try whitelisting it in procmail or whatever you are using.

Worked for me
