Is this a problem with my mail service or with the list?

Hello there,
** Your mail service does not have a PTR record **
I searched on Google, using the error that you were given: "450 Client
host rejected: cannot find your hostname" & the third link I got, gave
me the answer you need.

I know that velocity are unlikely to be the providers of your email
service but this page does explain pretty well what the problem is.
The FreeBSD mailing-lists perform a reversed DNS check on incoming mail
connections, dropping them if it can't resolve the mailservers IP to a
name, or obtains a result that doesn't figure.
