This could very probably explained by greylisting. I certainly can't
speak for the UAA Library anymore (who hosts this list) since I haven't
worked for them since 2003, but I know that many organizations, especially
larger ones like Gmail have implemented greylisting within the past 2-3
years.

Since this is a highly technical list I won't bore everyone with a
description of greylisting, but I will say that Google can provide what
you need if you're not already familiar with it.
