I checked, and your DNS ids your box as the MX for your domain as well.

The first thing I would do is telnet *from* your mailserver to the FreeBSD 
mailserver and try a manual SMTP session and see what happens.  If you get 
rejected then, you *know* it's a problem with the FreeBSD server.

You probably know this already, but just in case:

% telnet server.freebsd.org 25
HELO meltechsystems.net
MAIL FROM: you@yourdomain
RCPT TO: list@freebsd.org

If all this works, then something else is causing the problem.
