well, either your MX does resolve 217.199.13.2 to a name, or it does not.
If it sometimes does resolve, sometimes not, it's a problem of DNS.

If you have different mailers of which one does not resolve DNS, it's
problem of its configuration.

SA does not resolve that IP, the MTA must do that.

It also must point back, but it does:

dns2.dadosoftware.com has address 217.199.13.2

it's the MTA who constructs the Received: line.

No. If it has to A records, the "host" would return them both:
  
host relay.blablabla.net  
relay.blablabla.net has address yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy  
relay.blablabla.net has address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
   
If it does not, then the problem is that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx has invalid reverse
DNS, because the name it points to does NOT resolve back to that IP.
