Ah, so ... CAVEAT: I quit using that test long ago..

One of the more 'general' things you may want to do is to insure you do NOT
apply 'all available' checks on your own broadband/dial-up, WiFi - whatever -
submission clients.

Whether at home or traveling, these will (and arguably *should*) fail many tests
that a full-scale 'fixed base' fixed-IP peer MTA should pass.

Nothing to do with the choice of MUA. Much do do with its environment.

Though you may not have otherwise hit that wall (yet) it is worth keeping in
mind as you grow toward more stringent tests.

HTH,
