Hmmm, I actually think this is a good move and hope that other large
providers will jump on the AOL bandwagon soon and start enforcing some of
these stringent requirements so that the rest of us smaller providers can
start enforcing the same requirements at our own mail servers and gateways.
Since most spammers do not control their own name servers, this will help us
immensely in our efforts to block the crap.

Once these requirement become an accepted practice (as required by the large
providers), then those that control the name servers will start supporting
rDNS on their name servers for their mail domains, and thus these changes
should only impact and hurt the spammers (at least that's the goal, anyway).
