unable to reach bsd-lists via mail

I have a problem with my mail-server configuration so that mail sent
will not reach any freebsd adresses. The solutions offered in similar
mails already accessible via various archives did not help :-( 

I usually send mail from the domain cruwe.de with the mail-server
mail.cruwe.de.

My configration is as such, that

$ host cruwe.de
cruwe.de has address 188.40.164.98
cruwe.de mail is handled by 10 mail.cruwe.de.

and

$ host mail.cruwe.de
mail.cruwe.de has address 188.40.164.98
mail.cruwe.de mail is handled by 10 mail.cruwe.de.

Now,

$ dig cruwe.de

; <<>> DiG 9.6.3 <<>> cruwe.de
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 32046

;; ANSWER SECTION:
cruwe.de.               300     IN      A       188.40.164.98

is right and

[chris at dijkstra:~]$ dig -x 188.40.164.98

; <<>> DiG 9.6.3 <<>> -x 188.40.164.98

seems to be OK.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the issue?

Thank you, cheers
