I emailed the sysadmin about my rejection, and he whitelisted my email
address.  Here's the message I received from him about this problem...

Thanks.  They're working fine.

Dec 22 20:06:27 mailman postfix/smtpd[1453]: reject: RCPT from
unknown[12.168.32.55]: 554 <unknown[12.168.32.55]>: Client host
rejected: Need FQDN for Client. See http://mailman.qth.net/spamfaq.htm;

This problem is caused by a misconfigured mail server on your end.

When a server connects to us to send mail it's suppose to identify
itself by sending us a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) and IP #.  The
IP # should not fail a lookup and the lookup should match the FQDN given
by the server.  The server used to send this message does not send a
FQDN, just an IP# (see our mail transaction log entry above).  This
could be compared to transmitting without giving your call sign.

Leaving out the FQDN of the server is typical of spam servers where 99%
of our spam comes from so we are now refusing connections from un-named
servers.

I'm going to white list you so you can post but if I were you I would
contact your ISP because this problem may pop up again somewhere else.
