Your mail server is identifying itself as 'mail.localdomain' during the EHLO or HELO step of the SMTP transaction. That's what the FreeBSD mail servers are objecting to since they can't look up an IP number for 'mail.localdomain' and then check that IP number reverses to the same nam= e. Check the configuration of your MTA. You want to make it call itself 'sermon-archive.info' when it introduces itself to the MTA it's sending to. How to do that depends on what MTA software you're using, but in sendmail(8), it's the $j macro that needs to be set appropriately. Something like define(`confHELO_NAME', `sermon-archive.info')dnl in your sendmail.mc file.
