We cannot guess what millions of clueless wannabe spam-eliminators are
doing at their sites. It should not ... but it might.

Of course you do. DTRT. $myhostname[1] should resolve to the IP address
from which you are sending, and the PTR for that IP address should
resolve to $myhostname.

[1] Strictly speaking, it's $smtp_helo_name which should resolve, but
    the default value for smtp_helo_name is $myhostname, and I would
    not generally recommend setting smtp_helo_name without good reason.
