Apparently I'm not supposed to reject email when there is no reverse PTR record. Can I have my Perl script add a line to the email headers that says essentially, reverse resolution failed? I'm using iptables QUEUE on SMTP connection packets. What I'm asking is, what is the extent of what I have

I'm experimentally rejecting unlisted IP addresses that don't reverse resolve. Probably the wrong thing to do, but how bad is this? I've noted that a few important sites don't reverse resolve. What percentage of sites on the Internet don't have a reverse PTR record and why? Is it legitimate for
