I changed it but here are the actual hostnames:

<<<<<<< current version
::1                     localhost
127.0.0.1               localhost               mail.class-creator.net
69.41.171.69            mail.class-creator.net  mail
69.41.172.100           mail.saline1990.com
69.41.172.249           mail.pioneer86.com
69.41.172.62            mail.grissomhigh1981.org
69.41.172.174           mail.anadarkohs60.com
69.41.172.180           mail.porthuronhighschool.info
=======

DNS checks out.
I think I am running ssl.  I am checking postfix and dovecot.  The odd 
thing is the ssh.  I looked at some old troubleshooting tips and ran 
netstat -anf inet and this is what it returned
