You have bigger problems than that, son.

Your mail was received by the Exim list server with the following
header:

This means that you are sending directly from a dynamic IP address
(24.159.22.9), which in turn means your outgoing mail is already
subject to handsome SA scores (at least 3.0 or so). You probably ought
to send your mail through whichever smarthost your ISP provided.

However, your name servers will not cause much (additional) trouble:
