I cannot understand why my ip 78.152.109.11 is listed with the
following Reason:
Dynamic IP, generic DNS, missing rDNS/PTR not permitted for direct
email connection. You must use correctly configured [with registered
working abuse contact] static IP / ISP mail servers / smarthost
service

I have a reverse lookup:
nslookup 78.152.109.11
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

11.109.152.78.in-addr.arpa name = mail0.farmigea.it.

I have nothing to do with APEWS, and I doubt that an APEWS listing has
any real impact on your email deliverability, but when I took a look at
the IP address you mentioned, I found the following:

$ host 78.152.109.11
11.109.152.78.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail0.farmigea.it.
$ host mail9.farmigea.it
Host mail9.farmigea.it not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
$

Your DNS does have a PTR record from your IP address to a hostname, but
it DO NOT have an A record from that host name to that (or any) IP
address. Some email administrators may consider that as as a bad sign,
and decline to accept email from your host for that reason, quite
independent of whether your IP address is in any DNSBL.

The Reason text appears to be in error; c 'rDNS' 'FCrDNS'

You have a typo on there: you poked 9 rather than 0.

$ host mail0.farmigea.it
mail0.farmigea.it has address 78.152.109.11

9 != 0; you seem to have perpetrated a typo. The OP's mailserver has
matching forward and reverse DNS.

It worked for me:

% host 78.152.109.11


11.109.152.78.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail0.farmigea.it.

% host mail0.farmigea.it
mail0.farmigea.it has address 78.152.109.11

Don't know where you got mail9 from.

Why do you lookup mail9.farmigea.it? There seems to be no reference
to that name.
