If you're using Postfix, I think the important thing is that |
| 35 |
myorigin / myhostname will match the rDNS. |

I'm not really sure what's supposed to be wrong with your current |
| 40 |
hostname, but if you can get the host to change the rDNS, then they |
| 41 |
can surely change it to something suitable. |
