That itself is suspicious (to a receiving MTA). And as Dmitri pointed
out, multiple PTR records is also a problem.
Remember that many email systems look for "circular resolution" where
eventually an A's address matches a PTR's name.
Example:
lists.x.com -> smtp.x.com (CNAME)
smtp.x.com -> 1.2.3.4 (A)
1.2.3.4 -> mail.p.com (PTR)
mail.p.com -> 1.2.3.4 (A)
("equilibrium has been reached")
If 1.2.3.4 resolves to both mail.x.com and maybe mailhost.x.com (which
might not have a matching A record), sometimes the magic smoke will come
out :).
