Does it make any difference if you remove the SMART_HOST line ?
Sounds like you've got a dodgy mail relay :-/
FWIW, interlog.com is quite valid:
$ nslookup -query=mx interlog.com
Server: storm.FreeBSD.org.uk
Address: 0.0.0.0
interlog.com preference = 0, mail exchanger = mailhub.interlog.com
interlog.com preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.interlog.net
interlog.com preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.interlog.net
interlog.com nameserver = ns1.interlog.com
interlog.com nameserver = ns2.interlog.com
mailhub.interlog.com internet address = 207.34.202.53
mx1.mail.interlog.net internet address = 207.34.202.3
mx2.mail.interlog.net internet address = 198.53.145.12
ns1.interlog.com internet address = 198.53.145.18
ns2.interlog.com internet address = 207.34.202.6
