The problem with PTRs is that I run several domains from the one IP

That is what MX records are for. It's straightforward to set up mail.example.com with its PTR having a single name that matches. Then, for all the other domains set the MX to it. For example:

whatever.domain IN MX 2 mail.example.com.


the HELO (or EHLO) command also uses mail.example.com. Nobody will notice any difference unless the analyze the message header.

From: uses the virtual domain <user@whatever.domain>.
DKIM signatures with d=whatever.domain.
SPF records at whatever.domain have the address of mail.example.com.
DMARC record for whatever.domain has rua=reports@whatever.domain.


If IP's are expensive, would it help to switch to IPv6?


Not all MXes have IPv6 address.  You need an IPv4 to send to an IPv4-only MX.

Google is said to be more severe with mail coming from IPv6 addresses.
