list.sys4.de has valid PTRs for it's A and AAAA record:

$ dig +short -x 2a03:4000:20:189::195
list.sys4.de.

$ dig -x 45.90.5.195

The TTL of 43200 is high, so your platform should be able to keep this cached
for a long time.

It seems (speculation!) the problem is somewhere in your DNS stack, but we
don't know yet. As Wietse's put it many years ago on the Postfix-Users list:
"Measure! Don't speculate!".

As suggested by other start by looking at your log. If the message persists
claiming Postfix can't find the reverse PTR and I - the guy running the DNS
stack for list.sys4.de - have just proven it exists, then the question is: Why
wouldn't Postfix know then? Between the sys4 nameservers and your Postfix
there's your DNS stack. I would assume to find the error there.

- Are you running a chrooted Postfix and it can't query the right DNS
  resolvers?
- What do your DNS resolvers tell if you ask them on command line about
  list.sys4.de PTRs?

    $ dig +short -x 2a03:4000:20:189::195
    $ dig +short -x 45.90.5.195
