IMHO it is not true. Novadays, it is required for a mail server to
have a valid reverse dns record. But it doesn't have to point back to
the same name. It would lead to very very poor IP space usage - eg.
virtual hosting provider, which has 300 domains would need 300 IP's
even if all of them are hosted on 1 machine, and number of domains can
MUCH higher than all of the IPs.

mail.domainA.com - WW.XX.YY.ZZ
ZZ.YY.XX.WW.in-addr.arpa PTR -  host.domainB.com
host.domainB.com - WW.XX.YY.ZZ

for an egzample one of the bigest portals - yahoo:

dig yahoo.com MX -  mx1.mail.yahoo.com - 67.28.113.10, 67.28.113.11
dig 10.113.28.67.in-addr.arpa PTR -  mta-v4.level3.mail.yahoo.com.
dig mta-v4.level3.mail.yahoo.com. -  67.28.113.10

Citation from one of the mail server manuals:
         If you have a PTR record for your IP address, and the target
         of the PTR record has an A record pointing back to that same
         IP address, mail will not be rejected from your server due
         to an invalid PTR.
