In as much as there's no such thing as an rDNS "registrar", yes.

Assuming you're talking about the IP your mail came from -
217.91.111.75 - this is a Deutsche Telekom AG range. You can find this
by doing:

# whois 217.91.111.75@???

You can find the nameservers for a given range by doing:

# dig 111.91.217.in-addr.arpa ns

Which in your case returns:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
111.91.217.in-addr.arpa. 86391  IN      NS      secondary007.dtag.net.
111.91.217.in-addr.arpa. 86391  IN      NS      pns.dtag.de.


Hrm... dtag.de? Deutsche Telekom AG. Again.

As suggested elsewhere, you need to contact your ISP support team to
ask the to set the reverse DNS on 217.91.111.75 to something
meaningful, like "kormar.net" or "mail.kormar.net".

Hope that helps
