My email was rejected by your email server, claiming that my email 
server was suspect:

The general consensus among email blacklists is that my domain is fine: 
https://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/mail.jones.dk.html

Microsoft-driven spam filtering is notoriously suspicious towards 
foreign mail. They seem to involve "popularity" in their algorithms, 
which is especially harmful to smaller email providers which will rarely 
become as popular as larger providers.  They then also (indirectly, not 
advertised at same hosts) offer an option to buy credibility, which to 
me is a fundamentally flawed approach to spam scanning, and I have 
chosen to *not* pay to have emails from my email domain accepted into 
the Microsoft global "paywall".

I was quite surprised to learn that an institution like MIT uses 
Microsoft for their email processing :-(
