Sure, at the moment, the only important stuff is the red-marked "Fail" 
stuff:

Lame nameservers.  You list a nameserver that isn't authoritative for 
your domain and that means it may be giving out the wrong information.  
Before doing additional testing you should see if both of your 
nameservers are giving out the same information.

At the moment 67.117.197.12 doesn't appear to be working, so that's okay 
for now.

Is 67.117.197.11 the right IP# for the box?

Acceptance of Postmaster address.  The fact that it's not accepting the 
postmaster address may either mean you don't have one and also don't 
have a catchall, or it may be indicative of another problem.  THe 
actual words of the relay error are non-indicative of anything, since 
that error message is hardcoded into the RaQs copy of sendmail by the 
update that installed POP before SMTP.

Presuming you've either got a postmaster account, an alias or forward so 
postmaster forwards something, or a catchall account, something besides 
dns is broken.

My smtp server can make a connection to your mailserver, so the 
mailserver is running on port 25 at that IP#.

If you give me permission and the name of a valid email account on the 
box (in name@xxxxxxxxxxx) format, I'll try to diagnose an email 
connection for you.
