Let me see if I can explain some of those issues. 

Fisia.com is actually on our box, so we know that it's not filtering.  It's one of our 
domains along with Richmond.com. 

The 10.1.1.155 address you see is us NAT'ing internally for our external SMTP address 
of 208.253.112.155.  Just an internal networking strategy. 

It does look a bit strange having rq1 & rq2, but rdc3 is actually rq1.  However, I 
agree that needs to be cleaned up. 

I still don't know why it's not accepting the SMTP Authentication. 

Sorry for the confusion.
