Then you are doing it wrong.

Failed reverse DNS lookups should result in a *temporary* MTA failure, not
a terminal error.  You do not want to have immediately terminal errors on a
reverse DNS lookup because there are plenty of perfectly ordinary reasons
for the lookup to fail: general network lossage during peak use hours is a
common problem, as is temporary DNS server shutdown.
