Actually, I haven't heard of many mail servers that will block E-mail based
on PTR entries (although I've heard rumors that AOL does). The ones that
do these lookups rarely ever will compare them to the actual host name of
the mail server.
In fact, if there are mail servers that attempt to match PTR entries with
the host name as shown in the SMTP banner/greeting, they will accept mail
from *NO* IMail servers! That's because IMail reports the host name as
"X1" (even if you change the registry entry, IMail still reports the host
name as X1).
