I guess the problem was this: The "thunderbridge.de" on which is was held up 
was not the "real" thunderbridge.de at this time. It was the server that is 
now (after the DNS update) thunderbridge.de. I guess the FreeBSD mailserver 
rejected it because of SPAM protection, when it did a (reverse) DNS lookup 
and noticed that a machine that is not really what it claims to be / doesn't 
(yet) have DNS properly set up, tried to relay mail though it. But that's 
just a guess. ;-)
