>Do I have to have an entry for every domain in reverse DNS???

The critical ones are any ip's that are SMTP clients sending mail to other 
mail servers.  Each sending ip should have matching PTR and A records.

Of course, the reverse zone delegation must be done and the delegated NS 
responding.

For all CF or web apps that send mail:

1. the envelope @sender.domain must have A and/or MX records.

2. The MX for @sender.domain must accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That is, in your CF apps that send mail (and that you want to give the best 
chance of being delivered), just don't invent any old 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You will have no success with MX's that do "sender 
address verification" or DNS validations of @sender.domain.
