I'd forward some samples of the complete headers to your ISP, which it
appears is comporium.net/comporium.com and which has a registered technical
contact address of: contactdomains@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and a registered
postmaster address of postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Address it to one and cc
the other. Ask that they check things out and reply to you.

Another possibility is a misconfiguration of the Barracuda device or
service.. It's widely purchased by organizations looking for a "quick and
easy fix" for problems of spam and viruses, especially by organizations
running Microsoft's Exchange Server, and not having someone adequately
trained about smtp and other email arcana. I'll spare everyone the in-depth
technical reasons and say this:

1. Some organization runs Exchange Server, registered as exchange.some.org
2. Said organization believes Microsoft when told they "really don't need a
person well versed in mail protocols" because, after all, Exchange will do
it all for you
3. Said organization suffers many attacks and plagues of spam, not handled
by the default Exchange installation configuration
4. Barracuda tell them they have a whizzy fix that will solve all their
mail problems
5. Some.org buys the Barracuda device
6. Many mail rejections or delays occur until the configuration is "tuned"
