Hello,
Reverse DNS records are assigned to IP addresses. So the first step will be to determine the IP address that your mail server uses to send email. Next, you will likely need to contact your IP provider to add a reverse DNS entry.
If your IP provider has given you the ability to add rDNS, consult these two support pages:

Why is dhcp rarely used to assign addresses for servers?
Often it is the server that is hosting the DHCP, so it can not assign its own address. But usually its just useful if the servers always have the same IP address. For example if a server is hosting a DNS server (as company servers often do), and all the workstations in the company are looking to that IP address for DNS info, the IP addrss can not change. If the IP address of the DNS server were to change then no computers on the network would be able to resolve domain names.
