See <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/sauce/>.
Note that the response from chiark said "450 Site not yet trusted, try
later". First of all, note that it's a temporary failure (450) and
your MTA should retry automatically. Also the text says "not yet" and
"try later", both of which suggest that the message will be accepted
at some point in the future.

All of the recent discussion about various blacklists, dial-up user
lists, etc. seems to have frayed people's tempers. I see a lot of
messages from angry people, with little useful content. I suggest
everyone takes a step back and thinks before sending further mail: do
you really want to waste time arguing about this, and flying off the
handle for no good reason?
