2. SMTP: Reverse DNS doesn't match SMTP Banner (The SMTP banner issued by your email server did not contain the hostname we resolved for your server’s IP address.)

That itself is suspicious (to a receiving MTA). And as Dmitri pointed out, multiple PTR records is also a problem.

Remember that many email systems look for "circular resolution" where eventually an A's address matches a PTR's name.

Example:
lists.x.com -> smtp.x.com  (CNAME)
smtp.x.com -> 1.2.3.4 (A)
1.2.3.4 -> mail.p.com (PTR)
mail.p.com -> 1.2.3.4 (A)
("equilibrium has been reached")

If 1.2.3.4 resolves to both mail.x.com and maybe mailhost.x.com (which might not have a matching A record), sometimes the magic smoke will come out :).
