the A-less PTRs is useful negative info counting against the IP. thanks

"having a PTR hostname" MUST have a matching A record.   Why? because 
anybody could forge mx.aol.com as their PTR hostname and get through 
whitelists.

Not having a matching  A record is as bad as having no PTR at all. that's 
why postfix lists lumps them as "unknown" along with IPs that have no PTR.
