[Pkg-exim4-users] Google complains that I don't have an IPv6 PTR record

My mail server has an IPv4 address, but now that I moved to a new ISP, it
complains that I don't have a PTR record. I tried putting in DKIM thinking
that would fix the issue, but I don't see any signing headers either in
my outbound email.

Any tips?
