I guess I'm confused as to why it's coming from this IP
216.119.112.51 when I've specified the MX record for precisionx.net
to point to 65.110.77.72

Thanks, Jose

Reverse DNS is different than forward DNS.  Reverse DNS takes an IP and
returns the host name (using a PTR record); forward DNS usually takes a
host name and returns an IP (using an A record).

>Received: from precisionx.net [216.119.112.51] by fpmamail.com with ESMTP

In this case, the E-mail came from the IP 216.119.112.51.  That IP does not
have a reverse DNS entry (see
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=216.119.112.51 ).  Since it does
not have a reverse DNS entry, it fails the REVDNS test.
