That's nothing to do with your e-mail address, that's the machine calling
itself "smtp" not announcing a FQDN to the mailing list's MX.

Ask your ISP to read the RFC's relevent to SMTP and comply with them, or
you'll see the portion of the internet willing to talk to it shrink before
your very eyes in this day and age where spam accounts for more than half
the SMTP traffic on the 'net.
