The checking will work fine with virtual domains.  What matters is that

I think I've got that right. (It's a bit more complicated to state when MXes and multiple A records for the same name are considered, but this is the general idea.)


This is your problem:

Ass long as the reverse DNS for the sending IP does not resolve to an existing domain name you are fried. Fix that and you're all set.
