Reverse address trouble?

We had once a similar problem that was fixed when we added a dummy A record
for our domain name.
Something like

mydomain.com.	A      209.157.6.6

Apparently, some mail severs use this as an anti spam measure and refused to
send us mail
until we defined this record.

I don't know though if this is the problem in your case.
