drop nslookup, all the DNS gurus say it's useless for serious DNS 
work. use dig.

Your pb is here:

# dig -x 216.17.141.65

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> -x
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 3
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      65.141.17.216.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
65.141.17.216.in-addr.arpa.  1D IN PTR  hobbes.ssbaptist.net.

... and ...

# dig hobbes.ssbaptist.net

; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> hobbes.ssbaptist.net
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      hobbes.ssbaptist.net, type = A, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
hobbes.ssbaptist.net.   1D IN A         216.17.141.70


There is a forward/reverse zone mismatch for the "SMTP client" (the 
host sending mail to hub.FreeBSD.org's "SMTPD server").

The reverse query for .65 returns hobbes, but the the forward query 
for hobbes returns .70.  You have a few other pb's in your 
ssbaptist.net zone, see report sent privately.
