Because that's the response on the initial connection, not to a message. Here's what I get when I connect from my house: Connected to mx.sympatico.ca. 554 Invalid DNS PTR resource record for 64.246.232.221 Connection closed by foreign host. (It's right, there's no PTR on my IP.) This has nothing to do with anything about any individual message, since it never sees an individual message. Anyone who's guessing about problems with the messages, bad guess. I see in another message that the client in question is at Linode, so my guess is that they block all connections from Linode. I don't blame them, since the vast majority of mail I've seen from Linode hosts is spam.
