Hi Guys,

I am sending two emails from the same system. One of these emails is giving me extra spam penalty scores for failed reverse DNS tests. The header of that email is:

However, the other email is passing the tests with no issues, and the header of that email is:

Both emails are sent from the same server with the same reverse DNS settings. Would you know why we are facing this problem with one of the emails and not the other? And how can we solve that and pass the reverse DNS tests?
