A quick and dirty would be to add an entry to /etc/hosts assigning a host name to 192.168.1.1 ... that should eliminate your problem. If you have hosts inside your nat/firewall trying to send email through the server which is also behind the same nat/firewall, you're going to have this problem ... there isn't a valid DNS server to answer reverse resolutions for these private IP addresses. Your best bet is to resolve them locally with /etc/hosts and move on.
