I might be mistaken, but it looks like there's mis-configured email
server settings.
While reviewing and tightening up security settings on one of my email
servers, I found some log entries indicating problems...
DKIM on the list's messages (signed messages but no key in DNS?):
https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=dkim%3adefault._domainkey.driftwood.blu.org&run=toolpage

$ dig +short txt default._domainkey.driftwood.blu.org
$
Also, not sure if BLU or Natick, but rDNS does not seem setup for email
server:
Feb 4 23:31:48 kwvoip postfix/smtpd[1388566]: NOQUEUE: reject_warning:
CONNECT from unknown[131.226.247.88]: 450 4.7.25 Client host rejected:

$ dig +short -x $(dig +short driftwood.blu.org)
$
And, no SPF too?!?
