Hello Chuck,

1.
postfix on smtp.dc.net doesnt allow - for security/spam reasons - adresses
like user@[IP-Address] - only to qualified domainnames (user@[domain.tld])

and/or

2.
You have no reverse entry for your SMTP machine IP in DNS. Postfix trys to
authenticate your Host as a "dial-up machine" as one of the configured
remoteuser over popb4smtp. Try
#dig -x [Your machines IP]
to check the correct reverse mapping of your IP.

hope that could help you,
regards,

Niels Dettenbach
