It looks like the originating IP address was 127.0.0.1, which is your server.  
In other words, this log entry is for a message that was generated by something 
on your server.  The reject-unresolvable-rdns filter won't block connections 
where the name is "localhost" and the IP address is 127.0.0.1 -- that would 
block any emails generated by mailing lists, cron jobs, contact forms, etc.  It 
only blocks "localhost" when the IP address is *not* 127.0.0.1.
