There are a number of things that a mailserver can check, to make sure 
incoming E-mail is coming from a "good" server.

It can check the reverse DNS entry of your mailserver.  The reverse DNS 
entry should exist (and in your case it does) -- the actual contents of the 
reverse DNS entry should be irrelevant.

It can check the HELO/EHLO text of your mailserver, to make sure that it 
has an associated MX or A record.  In your case, it does.

That's all a remote mailserver really should do.  They may also check to 
make sure that the reverse DNS entry has an A record associated with it 
(which yours do).  So your DNS is good.  However, some mailservers will do 
more that they really shouldn't do -- such as making sure that the MX 
record for the HELO/EHLO matches your IP, or matches the reverse DNS 
entry.  If they are running those tests, they are essentially saying they 
don't care if they get your mail or not.
