I have mail server here since at least 2003 (if not earlier, although
my IP changed 6 or more months ago), nobody ever complained about
being not able to send mail to me. And I corresponded with people from
America, Europe, and Asia. I'm also signed up with several mailing
lists, and all of them work correctly (including this list that I'm
writing on). 

Are you sure I'm not firewalled by you?

74.0.0.0/8 was once a reserved address space, and many administrators
firewalled it, since they thought no legitimate traffic can come from
that address, this is not true anymore, but there are few places which
still didn't updated their firewall (I suspect your server isone of
them).
