Give the full message for better understanding but I suppose that the
connexion is rejected, not the mails.

And in the format vps-xyz.vps.ovh.net

Your server myhostname must resolve to the same ptr. So you should ask a
reverse to ovh setting it to your postfix myhostname. And of course
myhostname must be on your domain. For all your domains you should also
setup SPF and DKIM.
