[RFCI-Discuss] is a reversename a must ?

[Jeff Pang]

Thanks for the info.
At my end I disagree to reject messages by remote host who has no rDNS.
In fact many many email hosts (specially the interprise mail servers) have not rDNS, if we reject these messages,we will be complainted heavily.
AFAIK,most huge providers like Yahoo,Hotmail,GMX didn't check the rDNS (or check it but didn't reject messages follow the rDNS rule only),Gmail once checked,but now it doesn't.AOL checks,Earthlink once didn't check,but now it checks.
