On the other hand, I run some decent-sized mailing lists (~300
members) from my home server, and the only sites that are rejecting my
mail are using the three-step mechanism you outlined, not content
filters.  My ISP doesn't assign a PTR record for my IP address, won't
do it, and has a lock-in monopoly on broadband (a deal with the
apartment complex where I live--they run the phone, cable, and ISP
there).

The people using content filters on my mail are doing just fine.
