I fail to see how a reverse pointer that == forward record means a more 
reliable message.  How many SMTP servers are compromised?  I far prefer 
smarter methods, especially in days where people are putting as many services 
as possible on one IP and want a reverse record that makes some kind of 
sense.  :-)

Oh absolutely and, as I said, I do the same thing.  Actually my front-line 
postfix rules reject a lot of mail before it ever hits the real spam/virus 
filters.
