"Reverse DNS (rDNS) is a method of resolving an IP address into a domain
name, just as the domain name system (DNS) resolves domain names into
associated IP addresses. One of the applications of reverse DNS is as a
spam filter. Here's how it works: Typically, a spammer uses an invalid
IP address, one that doesn't match the domain name. A reverse DNS lookup
program inputs IP addresses of incoming messages to a DNS database. If
no valid name is found to match the IP address, the server blocks that
message."
