Since your shop SHOULD refuse his email...
Why not follow the trail and see why it IS working?
Probably a bug in your system.

A bug in all systems?
You say I refuse to see reality - well - the reality is that my mail works. Since you guys apparently think that's freaky, I wouldn't mind being shown why... Simply asserting that's reality, with no explanation of how my server can actually do what it does, does not motivate me to make any changes.
I do like the implications of Box's explanation though - if WEIGHT is given to each point, and reverse DNS is only one tick off on the factors that determine whether something is spam or not, that would explain why it works. He's the first one to do any kind of explanation (other than what reverse DNS lookups do), however.
Look - I WILL set up my own DNS if I have to. First, though, I'd just relay through my ISPs mailserver. I did that the last time I really wanted to send mail to warhead. So far though, I haven't had to (except for that one time). You said that reverse DNS keeps mail from going through to AOL and Comcast - Heck, I test new configs against those ISPs, among others. I'm telling you that reverse DNS has NEVER stopped mail to those ISPs. They never give me trouble. Not accepting THAT does not make ME the one denying reality.

That is ...
... fucking beautiful! A multi-week flame fest -- It's your DNS ... it's not my DNS ... you must be whitelisted ... I'm not fucking whitelisted -- and it may turn out that he's whitelisted by a fucking ISP! That is perfect.

Oh come on, I was just poking CRC
I wasn't about to go back and re-read all of it to get the details right just for that. I just thought is was freaking hilarious that after all those rounds of you insisting you weren't doing anything different, and being told that if that were the case then you should be having problems, that it may be divine intervention working without your knowledge.

*sigh* I suppose so.
I always have a hard time letting go of something I don't understand... Even when I have an available workaround.
The problem is that I trust what these guys are saying, I trust their expertise, but it's not jibing with my experience... And so the loop continues.

My variation on that
I always have a hard time letting go of something I don't understand... Even when I have an available workaround. When something doesn't work, then it does work, I want to know why it didn't work. Which is usually a bitch, because it's not doing it any more, but how am I supposed to know it won't happen again? ===

Our network admin was just bit by that
Exchange wasn't connecting to the data store. MS support can't explain why. 10 hours on the phone passes, examining AD, DNS, etc, etc.
Then it starts working. MS takes credit, can't give any kind of satisfactory explanation, tried claiming it wasn't working before, that it never worked (though IRL everything worked relatively well for a long time).
This morning it dropped again.
Stochastic computing and all that.

clearly the issue
nslookup imrics.net gives me your 216.X.X.X address, nslookup of the 216 address gives me your provider. As an ISP I may assign weight to that fact. Warhead tho appears to be a stickler because they host lists and do not want to be accused of third party manipulation of their handled lists they are very strict. Now do you get the same effect with a sciantastic message to warhead? Will they allow one list to get sent to another without reverse dns? Curious.
In another note I suspect that within 2 years all mail which fails reverse dns will be dropped on the floor. Best practice documents like
[link|http://e-com.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/inecic-ceac.nsf/en/gv00329e.html|http://e-com.ic.gc.c.../en/gv00329e.html]
section 11 pertains to you.
The industry is trying to regulate itself before government does it for us and the document above is being looked at very carefully by all providers.
HTH,
Bill

Now that's something I needed to know.
Two years, you say? Well - that should give me a little time, anyway. In the meantime I still have the option of using Speakeasy's server, should I be forced to.
As to warhead, I never even thought of sending Scientastic there; geez - I think I'd get CRUCIFIED for spamming the list... Especially if Ranger Bill started critiquing the articles, when nobody here had ever heard of him...
Besides, if everybody started reading Scientastic, I'd have nothing to post in the Science forum on slow days!

list handling itself is a whole nother topic
if everyone used dkim signed mail does the list replace the original sig with its own? Add a new sig? Can list software be dkim aware at all? How does an dkim aware mta handle a list. All questions waiting to be answered.

Put the needle on the record....skrrrpppt!
AOL, Yahoo etc... are all flexing muscle right now in the "spam being rejected" arena.
AOL, used to blindly reject Known Dynamic Addresses. Now I believe the are rating SPAM, using the feedback methods built into the AOL mail stuff.
Yahoo, use public and private info to mark stuff as spam.
Me, I use Spamassassin with DCC, Pyzor, RulesDuJour and clamav. I am changing to doing the scanning at smtp time very soon. Right now I have it looping it around through the checking gauntlet before re-submitting to route properly.
