I believe your mail is being rejected by the freebsd.org server due to
'65.61.155.146' not having a reverse pointer.

According to ARIN, this IP is owned by Rackspace.  You should email 
ipadmin@rackspace.com and ask that a proper reverse pointer be entered 
for your host.  (I presume the host at rackspace is what you're using
as your mail relay???)
