I know, I'm the one who set it up ;-)

This line alone is not really correct:
450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, 
[212.69.162.205]

But as Wietse said, there's another log line explaining the problem:
warning: 212.69.162.205: address not listed for hostname 
protegate5.zmi.at

I just looked at the one line in the mail report, and that alone is not 
correct, as there is a hostname PTR for that IP.

Yes, once you know it it's easy to solve anyway.
