freebsd.isc.org is not anything to do with freebsd as such. The first part of that output is the hostname, and refers to the name that isc.org gave to one of their computers. Perhaps you should get in contact with them directly. >From whois: Domain Name:ISC.ORG Last Updated On:06-Apr-2005 01:33:20 UTC Expiration Date:05-Apr-2006 04:00:00 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:Alice's Registry, Inc.

Without knowing anything about your mailserver, I'm unable to help further.
