Hum, in RFC2821, this "MUST NOT refuse" seems to belong to forward lookup 
also. (I think I missed that last time I looked at it.)

This is rather confusing, because some lines above, the client "MUST" send a 
hostname that "is a valid principal host name [...] for its host." 
If he doesn't, I would say that I can refuse him for breaking RFC2821.
