I too will block emails with a non-FQDN HELO or EHLO.  I feel, however, that 
reverse should not have to match forward lookups for mail exchangers.  It's 
an assinine requirement (my box does web, mail, dns and a host of other 
services, why should I need it to be called 'mail' for both forward and 
reverse lookups just to get mail flowing?  Assinine.
