Dunno if this is true with regard to the audifans domain (or more
specifically the SMTP mail relay that the list uses), but it did happen to
my mail server and the symptoms are as you describe.

If it is indeed true, then your only recourse is to pick up a hotmail
account until the SMTP relay is removed from the list. ORDB (www.ordb.org)
and others check the mail relay to see if outside senders can use the mail
server to relay spam. If the mail relay is open, the list the server on
their database, and then admins who subscribe to the database set their
systems to refuse mail from that server.
