mail problem

I am moving all my people to virtual hosting.  250 sites per IP address.  How 
can I have more than one ptr record for a single IP address.  Or should I 
just tell my clients that the name of their outgoing mail server is the name 
of my mail server.

 No.  The only thing that cares about the hostname in the SOA record is
 dynamic update.

 Is your outgoing mail going from www.gtreseller.net?  The problem may be
 that there's no reverse DNS entry for 216.32.58.62.  Many mail servers now
 refuse to accept mail from a remote address if they can't resolve its
 address to a hostname.  You need to get Exodus to add a PTR record for this
 address, or if this is a part of a range of addresses they've assigned to
 you they could delegate reverse DNS to you (perhaps using RFC 2317 if you
 don't have the entire class C).
