This shouldn't be a problem if you're setting RELAYCLIENT by IP address
instead of by hostname/domainname. Even if you're operating tcpserver
in paranoid mode, it only unsets TCPREMOTEHOST if forward and reverse
lookups don't match.

You can stay on DHCP; simply add PTR records for the IP addresses the
DHCP server hands out. Is it possible that your workstations are being
NATed so that the IP address the mail server sees is not one of the ones
you've configured for relaying?
