rejecting your mail! ;-)
It's long past time for you to fix your broken DNS Andrew!

550-Sent: HELO trinity.supernews.net
550-Response: 501-fatal error while validating 'HELO' host name 'trinity.supernews.net'.
550-501-connection rejected from trinity.ranger.supernews.net remote address [216.168.1.22].
550-501-Reason given was:
550-501- None of the existing reverse DNS PTRs for your remote address
550-501- [216.168.1.22] has a hostname matching 'trinity.supernews.net'. Your
550-501 reverse DNS is likely misconfigured
550-The initial connection, or a HELO or MAIL FROM:<> command was
550-rejected. Refusing MAIL FROM:<> does not help fight spam, disregards
550-RFC requirements, and stops you from receiving standard bounce
550-messages. This host does not accept mail from domains whose servers
550-refuse bounces.
