What I did is get my ISP to delegate the reverse dns to me. Once they did
that then I can set the reverse as needed. If they wont delegate to you
get them to do a reverse on ip of the server you want to be your mx
server. Out of the last 5 years any commercial/business account I have had
I have never had a problem getting the isp to do reverse on static iP;s
that I was assigned.
