Thanks, I am fully aware of the importance of defining the proper DNS
RRs for both forward and reverse lookups for MTAs. The resource records
are in fact fine for the affected IP address.

More importantly though, like I wrote before: No outbound SMTP mail
connection is supposed to ever be established to third parties. That is
being enforced via "relayhost = [172.16.x.y]:587" (Postfix). Private
destination address, and destination port != 25. The Postfix instance
also does NOT listen on anything except localhost, i.e. accepts no
inbound connections. Even if someone managed to breach the firewall.
That's not a machine one expects to end up on a blocklist, IMO.
