Not a mail admin guru, but it seems linuxaudio.org does not
have an SPF record. See:

    http://www.openspf.org/

It also doesn't use DKIM:

    http://www.dkim.org/

Personally I find that DKIM is a far less reliable spam/non-spam
indicator than SPF.

It would also help if you get the ISP to specifically
point to which technology they expect.
