That does not seem right...

Not every company even HAS an ip address for their domian, especially when
they are just using it for mail. after all, for mail, all you need is an MX
record....

Both forward and reverse name mapping must resolve. That is,  if a.b.com
resolves to 1.2.3.4, 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa must resolve to a.b.com.

Just check this is the case using either dig or nslookup for the host(s)
