Mail from my server sent to earthlink bounce with the message
 
There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. 
Please contact your system administrator. <xchange2.bio.hunter.cuny.edu #5.5.0 
smtp;550-EarthLink does not recognize your computer>
 
My guess is this is because earthlink is seeing my server as its domain.local 
name  (xchange2.bio.hunter.cuny.edu ) instead of its external DNS name which 
would be genectr.hunter.cuny.edu. Is there a way to make sure my server 
communicates using its external DNS name
