I am sending it with smtp.comcast.net as the mail server which I have to authenticate, same as I did this one. I am using thundrbird in windows (unfortunately windows since I am work) so it does not make any sense. Art L. Mark Stone wrote:

Can anyone tell me why my email is being rejected as spam from the suse mail list?
Art, Use your ISP's smtp server for outbound email in your email client, not your local postfix installation. Or, configure postfix to relay through your ISP's smtp server and not to try to send to the final destination directly.

192.168.121.33 is a private IP address; you can't have the A record behind an MX record reference a non-routable IP address, so you are not a "real" email server. Look at the spam rules that were invoked in the header: DNS.
You want your email to appear to originate from an email server that is properly configured in public DNS space. That server will need an A record, an MX record, and increasingly a PTR record.
