You fixed that meanwhile 2) The remote side requires not only a valid forward DNS record (palmettodomains.com points to that IP) but too a matching reverse one. From here I can't judge whether the named IP is static and thus assigned by your ISP. If that is the case then you really should take care for both types of DNS entries. If not (you are on an dynamic line) you should use your ISP's mail host as SMART_HOST within your Sendmail configuration. DynDNS is a very bad base for reliable mail services.
