One of two things: First, if a reverse DNS lookup of your IP address
doesn't match the domain of your email address, they may reject you.
If they do that, they're seriously broken for anyone who hosts multiple
domains.
Second, if they connect to your mail server and send your email address
as a "RCPT TO" command and your mail server rejects it, they reject you.
I didn't see any evidence of that, and I looked.
