That is a fairly typical anti-spam tactic. Well-configured mail relays *should* have PTR records defined for their IP addresses.

I hit send too quickly... more to the point, how do you dynamic IP folks handle the problem? dyndns.org can supply a forward pointer for your IP address (say monjar.dyndns.org pointing to 1.1.1.1) but since they don't own the 1.1.1.0 block they can't setup the reverse record, right?
