Probably because mail.halplant.com uses a DNS blacklist that says 
your address is dynamic.  The following URL queries a large number of 
blacklists.  A couple say your address is dynamic:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=68.105.184.54

There's no way of knowing whether any of these blacklists are used 
by mail.halplant.com except by asking them.

In the end, you will either have to argue with the blacklists, or 
complain to the admins who bounce your mail, or relay your outbound 
mail through your ISP SMTP server, or accept an occasional bounce.
