I too run a few mail servers... none of my servers will accept incoming
email from a host that doesn't have a reverse DNS that when looked up
returns the original IP (eg, IP -> reverse -> forward -> IP... note this
doesn't have to match the HELO name). I also check that the 'from'
domain name has an A or MX record. This sort of thing has been
standard practice for email servers for at least 15 years. The way I
figure it, if someone can't get the DNS right, they shouldn't be running
a email server at all.
