I had a similar issue in the past; I was using the free email hosting
that came with my domain (I won't say which provider, but it started
with "go" and ended with "daddy", and I know that certain people here
love 'em ;) ), and they'd drop all kinds of email. In some cases, they
were dropping every email that had a URL in it!

So, I re-pointed the MX to my friend's mail server, and that cleared up
all the issues. No more dropped emails.

I suggest registering a free email account or something to use for
lists, and point it somewhere without filters.
