Please configure your mailer to wrap lines below 80 characters per line...

The IP address your mails are coming from (as remote servers see it) needs
to have correct PTR pointing to a name that points to the same IP back.
e.g. 195.168.3.66 -> fantomas.fantomas.sk -> 195.168.3.66
Note that the hostname does NOT need to be in the domain you send mail from,
it only has to look correct, and not generic if possible - some servers
reject mail from hostnames like 195.168.3.66.fantomas.sk and similar.
(I'm pointing this out because I've got many similar complaints about this -
they were all bogus of course.)
Unluckily you did not provide what exactly did you do. I can only guess that
you set up more or incorrect PTR records, that made mailservers reject mail
from you.
