The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9> summarizes much of what we
know about dealing with large ISPs.

On your end, you need to be sure your sending server is properly
configured. At a minimum, its IP must have an rDNS that points back to
its fully qualified domain name. That name must have a DNS A record
that points to the IP, and it must identify itself as that domain in
HELO/EHLO.
