OK, I'm beaten :-)  - there are many reasons you can get on these lists, 
not just open relaying. And there are even more errors you can make when 
configuring your mailserver (or the DNS/MX resolution for it) that can 
prevent receiving mail or sending mail or both.
Hostname configuration is only a small part of it. But here we really 
get out of an imap-related discussion.
