I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're doing, but regardless, I think
you're barking up the wrong tree.
First off, the only DNS info that mx1.freebsd.org checks is the server it's
actually talking to. In the case of this last message, that's
mail-relay1.mirrorimage.net:
Received: from mail-relay1.mirrorimage.net (mail-relay1.mirrorimage.net
[209.58.140.11])
by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D90343D1D
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Mon, 7 Jun 2004 16:01:45 +0000 (GMT)
(envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Now, if you're sending this route, and having trouble getting messages through,
then it's a config problem with the mirrorimage.net folks.
However, if you're trying to send directly from this machine:
Received: from keyslapper.org (LEBLANC [10.10.4.59]) by
triton.int.mirrorimage.net with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service
Version 5.5.2653.13) id MJT1GA4V; Mon, 7 Jun 2004 12:01:38 -0400
Then the problem is not that it thinks that you are a dhcp addy, but that your
HELO/EHLO announcement is calling the server "LEBLANC", which isn't even a
valid DNS name, and therefore fails the lookup check.

Sounds like you need to work something out.
And the fact that you're on a private IP _does_ mean that you're not a real
mail server. Per RFC-1918, those addresses are NOT part of the Internet,
therefore, there's no reason for any mail server to accept that there's a real
server there. The only machine that has to recognize that IP is the NAT gateway
that translates that IP into a real one.
But, then again, from the last email you sent, this isn't your problem.
