<pre wrap="">More than likely. Or you could set up a secondary mx for your 65.254.217.214 for the outpostsentinel.com domain. That would make the reverse lookups happy. If the server is outgoing only, then you wouldn't have to worry about it coming in there if you don't want it to.
I have my outgoing mail going directly to the internet, but my incoming is relayed through my spam filter server. The only address allowed to send incoming smtp traffic to the mail server is the spam filter. I have a secondary mx configured for the outgoing server (with reverse lookup) so that outgoing mail will be accepted by servers that care, which of course they should.

Since we only use earthlink to host web and email the obvious solution
is to leave earthlink. <br>

Either there is something screwy with DNS records somewhere, or you mx records are configured wrong. My filter would definitely not like you mail.

outpostsentinel.com's incoming mail and website is hosted by earthlink.
This is why they have the DNS
records. The outbound mail is done by 65.254.217.214. All our servers
in the colo are under opsdc.com
domain. I guess if I change my From address to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:cfowler@opsdc.com">cfowler@opsdc.com</a> my
mail would no longer be spam?
