You can check what reverse DNS shows this way:

$ dig mail.mydomain.com
...
mail.mydomain.com   90  IN  A   74.125.77.121

Reverse lookup

$ dig -x 74.125.77.121
...
121.77.125.74.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN    PTR ew-in-f121.1e100.net.

So mail.mydomain.com not equal to ew-in-f121.1e100.net - you get blocked.

It sounds like the remote server is trying to do a reverse DNS lookup of your IP address -- this is typically done as an anti-spam measure. This configuration is the responsibility of the owner of that block of IP addresses -- in your case, probably the ISP that's hosting your server.
