The important bit is the "Domain of sender address ... does not
resolve".

They have their mail server (hercules.syi.pcc.edu[209.152.61.185])
configured to look up the sending domain. 

Now, I just tried it, and robinson-west.com doesn't resolve, even though
goose.robinson-west.com does. (Results below)

I suggest adding an A record for robinson-west.com, and see if that
doesn't help.

Is it a co-incidence that there are 42 characters, including spaces, in the following sentence:

"Answer to life the universe and everything"
