do you think it could also be reverse dns on our end.  im jsut concerned that i have all our settings set up correctly.. especially the RDNS, especially where it says sts-exch.sts.local in the headers as thats the internal name of the server

Ooh yeah, that line where No client cert was requested sticks out. Do you have your server configured to require SMTP authentication?
That looks like you are sending your email out through another service. Microsoft's antispam service it looks like.

The local server name in the headers is not a problem.
This line would be:

Received: from mail.strategictelecom.com (64.221.233.179.ptr.us.xo.net [64.221.233.179])

That looks like a generic IP address reverse DNS, not an accurate one, so get that corrected.

Hi Guys,
1) we are the strategictelecom account, we dont send out through microsofts antispam service. I think sprint use bigfish which is a hosted account.
2) the ip address is one assigned to use in a block from xo communications.  
3) i dont know where i would have set the smtp authenticaiton set.. can you point me in that direction so i can check. (the user who is sending has no problem sending out at all to other clients, just some sprint accounts giving issues)
If it was an authentication issue then it would affect all email, not to a specific domain, so that is not the issue.
The fact that the server has an IP address in an assigned block doesn't matter. The rest of the internet doesn't know that. It just sees the traffic coming from an IP address with a generic reverse DNS. That needs to be fixed.
