Well, it appears that isolar.Tujunga.CA.US doesn't have a valid reverse
DNS entry:
hera:/promethee/bouyer>host isolar.Tujunga.CA.US
isolar.Tujunga.CA.US has address 128.149.24.254
isolar.Tujunga.CA.US mail is handled (pri=10) by elroy.JPL.NASA.GOV
isolar.Tujunga.CA.US mail is handled (pri=0) by isolar.Tujunga.CA.US
hera:/promethee/bouyer>host 128.149.24.254
Host not found.

It's why the server rejected your mail ... I suggest you (or your admin)
complete your DNS, more and more sites have such policies now.

PS: I'm not the admin of the lip6.fr mail hup, "it's not my fault" :)
Thanks for pointing this out though.
