I'd have to agree with AOL and other major companies position on there control of email entering there networks. if you don't have a 'vanity reverse DNS entry', as you put it, then flat refuse the email. Our small, small company blocks entire countries, class A blocks, etc. just to help stop the spam, viruses, hackers, etc. If an ISP sell's business accounts, on a multi-use backbone, then they (the ISP) should provide a true 'static ip address' and provide the 'vanity reverse DNS entry' - this is not a hard thing for them to do.
