Hi,
what you mean exactly with lack PTR, something like
reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname ?
I may fail but i think this parameter breaks rfcs
but i use it on all my mailservers without
any big problems so i would recommend it.
Some big providers use it too, like
gmx
http://faq.gmx.de/optionen/email/antispam/4.html
( sorry dont found it in english )
In one year of using it, i had only a few
requests to debug ( whitelist ) ips with it
