69.36.102.205 resolves to mail.yellowhead.com.
mail.yellowhead.com. does not exist.
Therefore, mail.yellowhead.com. _cannot_ be THE canonical name
of the host. As such, your helo is invalid per RFC2821.
The host name definitely has an "A" record, and the IP definitely has a
reverse lookup. If you are checking that the hostname matches the reverse
lookup name, it will not always match. This is a very common situation when
a mail server is hosting several domains.
For any number of "several", all can point to a single IP address
that resolves to a hostname that resolves to the same IP address.
Adding "mail.yellowhead.com. A 69.36.102.205" will be enough.
