Oh, and the IP I'm talking about is the IP from which your mail is
relayed, eg 204-16-138-5.celito.net [204.16.138.5]. Don't muck with
your MX record, that's should be a hostname, e.g. webperformance.com
NOT an IP. What you're changing is the record returned when someone
(or some software) looks up the IP that's connecting to remote servers
to deliver your mail. They'll look it up, and the more it looks like
a mailserver (PTR, HELO, etc.) the better off you are.
