It probably took the envelope sender as the subscriber address. You
should be sending the proper envelope sender in the first place. If
you are using the default debian setup with exim, just put
glenlee: glenlee@fcwm.org
in /etc/email-addresses and exim will rewrite the envelope sender to
be the proper address.

With that rewriting in place (which any non- internet-mail-host
machine ought to be doing anyways to provide a correct envelope on the
messages) you won't have that problem.

They really block based on that? RFC (2)822 doesn't require a
Reply-To: address. Are you sure the appearance of that requirement
isn't really caused by something else and might be related to #1?
Try fixing that envelope problem above and see if it solves the rest
of your subscription problems.
