Same here. We cannot going on rejecting every server that don't reverse I'ts not that I would like to but the truth is MANY companies have them.
I have never understood the precived connection between reverse DNS and spam. I have seen some go as far as if the reverse DNS does not match the senders domain they will kick it.
I am all for blocking spam, but it is a fine line to block it without being an ass and catching all kinds of legitimate mail in the process. Perfect example is the one RBL that will list entire ISPs until the sufficently grovel in their newsgroup, all the while not caring that this is impacting hundreds or thousands of servers that are not spamming or supporting spam.
