subdomain and mail relay configuration

PTR records are now there:

Code:

[root@server ~]# dig -x 69.65.22.18

Still getting this though:

Here's the message log in reference:

So, now that we've gone through several iterations of my lunacy, where am I now with this issue?

 

It's a dedicated server hosted at gigenet's colocation facility in Chicago. This isn't a 'hosting from home' project. The IPs given are legitimate and static addresses.

 

I think I got it now. I changed settings in outlook for SMTP authentication from:
Outgoing server requires authentication = yes
Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail = yes
to
Outgoing server requires authentication = yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server = yes

 

So I guess I'm saying that in spite of my lunacy, all is working now.

Thank everyone so much for their patience and help
