The hostname contains - as Philip already assumed - an underscore. Add
helo_allow_chars = "_" to your configuration or disable helo checking
for this host (helo_verify_hosts = * : ! 217.68.112.133)

Of course, since it's illegal to have '_' in DNS-hosts. The IP does
not resolve to an host - perfectly bad configuration.
