I believe we resolved the Internic mail delivery problem by fixing a reverse lookup problem (as suggested by Ben Pepa) caused by my ISP having a reverse entry for my IP address pointing to his server. The Internic mail now delivers fine. However, I am still having delivery problems with one inbound message and 1 outbound message. I've included the bounced read error message below and the maillog messages from the inbound and outbound message failures.
