Mostly because a trojaned machine on a broadband connection spewing SPAM
will not have a valid reverse DNS entry.

By forcing a policy of accurate reverse DNS, most of the home-broadband-
SPAM factories are shut down. 

Most ISPs will reject mail if the DNS doesn't reverse correctly, AOL
being one of the largest.
