I'm not sure I can help Elliott regarding the bounce problem
but it seems to me that the fault lies with interliant not iname.

I have been using an .iname address since mid-97.
I have only come across two cases where I've had mail returned
because of the .iname domain being banned.

I object to the blanket condemnation of people with .iname (or
indeed other forwarding addresses).

There are many reasons why people use such names and it is
not to hide under them.

Yes there are spammers who will try and use the domain just as
they will falsely use .AOL or any other.

sincerely
Gerald England
