FreeBSD.org uses Postfix for mailing lists with some UCE controls
configured. From the Postfix's web site:
[...]
reject_unknown_hostname
Reject the request when the hostname in the client HELO (EHLO)
command has no DNS A or MX record. The
unknown_hostname_reject_code specifies the response code to
rejected requests (default: 450).
[...]
The host command gives to me:
host 216.17.141.65
65.141.17.216.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer hobbes.ssbaptist.net
But a more detailed query gives:
host -l -t any ssbaptist.net
ssbaptist.net start of authority ssbaptist.net
brad.ssbaptist.net(
2000080801 ;serial (version)
10800 ;refresh period
3600 ;retry refresh this often
604800 ;expiration period
86400 ;minimum TTL
)
ssbaptist.net name server dns.ssbaptist.net
ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.72
ssbaptist.net mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.ssbaptist.net
dns.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.65
linux.ssbaptist.net is a nickname for hobbes.ssbaptist.net
pop.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.79
mail.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.70
blocked.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.68
www.ssbaptist.net is a nickname for hobbes.ssbaptist.net
mac.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.77
hobbes.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.70
riegel.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.85
ftp.ssbaptist.net is a nickname for hobbes.ssbaptist.net
ssbaptist.net start of authority ssbaptist.net
brad.ssbaptist.net(
2000080801 ;serial (version)
10800 ;refresh period

86400 ;minimum TTL
)
That is, hobbes.ssbaptist.net has address 216.17.141.70 (not .65).
Anyhow, check what is sent to freebsd.org through the HELO command:
this must have an DNS MX or A record.
