If this is the case and the mail admin is reasonable, he should appreciate your input.
I have run reverse DNS using for both the sending server, and receiving server's IP both look very much the same, not surprising as both are in the same subnets of the same organization. Both resolve to the owning orgs NameServers.

What DNS records does zimbra use when validating sender address?
Can I whitelist a domain to allow it through but still have it processed by spamassin and clamav?
