'localhost' can't be traced back if the message received is classified
as spam. I guess that's the only reason to think of localhost as evil.

Can you have your mailer connect to $your_internet_ip instead of
127.0.0.1 or localhost? That might make a difference.

Hmm. I'd look for a different solution and hold this as a last resort.

Try that what I described above. You could also try and change your
/etc/hosts, and have it say:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.$yourrealdomain
That way, the receiving host can trace back localhost.$yourrealdomain,
and it would be less evil.
HTH,
Sander.
