It appears that 67.18.186.248 is not configured to be a relay for you.
Either you're connecting from the wrong IP range, or without sufficient
user credentials.

Also, the rest of the internet seems to disagree with you about DNS
entries for domain.org:

martin@backus:~$ host domain.org
domain.org has address 216.34.94.184
domain.org mail is handled by 10 sentry.domainbank.com.
martin@backus:~$ host lists.domain.org
lists.domain.org has address 216.34.94.184
martin@backus:~$ host -t mx lists.domain.org
lists.domain.org has no MX record
martin@backus:~$ host -t mx domain.org
domain.org mail is handled by 10 sentry.domainbank.com.
