The received header added by your own gateway looks like it's taken the
HELO command
and copied it verbatim to the received: header, rather than doing its
own reverse lookup - you
should be able to configure your gateway to add the real reverse lookup
(or 'unknown' if it hasn't got one,
which is the case here).
