Bounce when sending to gmail accounts
Very recently I have had users starting to get this error. We are in transition from postini to google apps. We don't use postini for outgoing and incoming email seems to be unaffected as does email to other domains but gmail.com.
This is the error that my users are getting when sending to gmail addresses.

The problem seems that Google has begun doing reverse dns checks on IPv6 addresses if provided by server sending to their domain (gmail.com).
I do not explicitly have IPv6 turned on or IPv6 dhcp, etc. However Microsoft has provided a 6to4 network device which provides some type of IPv6 address. I am not aware if it is local or public or even if that distinction is relevant to IPv6. Anyway, in order to fix this your email server MUST NOT have an IPv6 address as it will send it in the email packet.
I solved this by deleting the 6to4 adapter and IPv6 tunnel adapter... worked for a while, until they "grew back".
Final solution was to disable both. Has not "grown back" or enabled "itself".
Sembee2 was on the track of the solution but did not actually provide a solution. His information did send me down the right track which I probably would never have found by myself.
Thanks, Sembee2.

See my posting... didn't know I should put my comments here.
Thanks, Simon.
Thanks, Simon.
You need to have a PTR record created in your reverse zone for the IP of your Exchange server.
