From the error message above I would suggest that the problem is your
ISP,and the fact that your IP address does not reverse resolve.ie the
target sendmail daemon cannot figure out who is sending the mail.

What does nslookup (your.ip.address give._)

If the above doesnt return some kind of domain name ,then you will
have to get your ISP to provide reverse mapping.
