freebsd.org uses postfix as a MTA.

The SMTP exchange when you connect to freebsd.org's mail server
requires that the connecting client identifies itself using the HELO
or EHLO command.

The name the client uses is supposed to be a Fully Qualified host
name, FQDN which is resolvable by the DNS.  The host name which your
machine, or your provider's MTA is using in the HELO command is not
resolvable and for this reason your mail is getting rejected.

Solution: The SMTP client must identify itself correctly.

Regards,

Simon
