Well, that was my first thought... but I don't have an SPF record.
I'm rather dubious of the value of SPF records, given the conversation
I've heard about them.

Which is kind of what I'm trying to do.  Except that my domain isn't
my ISP -- it's hosted by a friend of mine, and it's not the only
domain handled by the machine, but other users of the system aren't
reporting problems.

On the hacking society IRC channel, it was suggested that I check the
envelope address on my outgoing mail to make sure that my client
really is doing the right thing.  I'll look into that in a bit.
