Sigh...  reading  the  Cricket  book  (DNS  & BIND) should be a requirement
before people are allowed near a mail server.

It  doesn't matter if your assigned block of IP addresses is smaller than a
/24 the only thing that matters is that the delegation chain leads to a DNS
server that gives an answer.

Scott  already  gave  you  a  tool  that  shows where the chain breaks down
http://www.DNSstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=209.164.24.158  if  you got your IP
block  directly  from  XO  Communications contact them about either putting
reverse entries in or delegating to your DNS server.

If  you got the block from someone else you'll have to contact them and ask
them to pass the request up the line.
