I think that this part is how is supposed to be. Now with the full IP
everywhere:

root@mail:~# nslookup 188.39.73.166
166.73.39.188.in-addr.arpa      name = mailcluster.zen.co.uk.
(and other lines)

I do realise that this one is not looking good:
root@mail:~# nslookup mailcluster.zen.co.uk.
Server:         127.0.0.11
Address:        127.0.0.11#53

If I do the same with a gmail.com IP:
root@mail:~# nslookup 209.85.208.41
41.208.85.209.in-addr.arpa      name = mail-ed1-f41.google.com.
(and other lines)

root@mail:~# nslookup mail-ed1-f41.google.com.
Server:         127.0.0.11
Address:        127.0.0.11#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   mail-ed1-f41.google.com
Address: 209.85.208.41

Do you think that the error "Client host rejected: cannot find your
hostname" is because the IP->hostname and hostname->IP lookups are not
matching?

I think that it should have written "Client host rejected: cannot find
your reverse hostname" in this case.

Thanks for any answers! (even if it's to make me check more things from
a different point of view)
