Disagree all you want. It's a fact of life. Broken or not, anti-RFC or
not, it's fact of life. A majority of mail servers are configured so
that No PTR for your mail server = no accept mail from your mail server.
Many control panels are now doing this by default.
During my configuration interview with all of our new customers, I go
through this with every customer (paraphrasing):
"Now... will this server be sending any email at all ?.. logs,
LogWatch, alerts, or acting as a mail server ? If so, you will need a
PTR or reverse DNS entry. What woud you like it to be ? I suggest the
hostname of the server, but it can be anything."
