No, this is just another of my anal retentive moments where I can't understand why my machine wants to ssh out to the world as mail.3111skyline.com. It's another of my inquisitively stupid "Why?" questions. I mean, what logic on the box looks to bind dns and says, "I want to be known as mail today? Hell, why not nemesis.3111skyline.com, it real name? (Ur, Umm, the name of the box is probably at fault) I should have called the son-of-a-bitch accommodating.3111skyline.com and I wouldn't have to put up with this stuff.
I know it doesn't matter, but why?
It is simply a problem of incorrectly configured reverse DNS for the domain. A lookup for 66.76.63.120 yields mail.3111skyline.com. If mail and nemesis are on machine as it seems to be I would also consider using CNAME.

Nuts!, it's not my upstream DNS for my domain, its my ISP's DNS that handles the reverse lookup. I NOW KNOW WHY! They have chosen mail as the reverse lookup to pass a proper fqdn to satisfy mail server reverse lookup smtp restrictions.
