Unfortunately there is no step by step guide to do this because there are so many variables. Generally whoever owns the IP Address(es) you are using has to set up the reverse DNS. A good start would be to put your IP Address in the search bar at the top right of this page: https://www.arin.net/

The reverse DNS is generally setup by the ISP who provides your static block of IP addresses.  You should contact them and request the proper rDNS mapping of the FQDN of the host which handles the SmarterMail traffic to the IP address you want the rDNS for as they are, generally, the only ones with the access and capability to modify the IN-ARPA database for their address block allocation.
