Hi,

I believe, there is in a bug in the REVDNS implementation.

Instead of checking for reverse DNS for the originating SMTP server, it
actually is looking up the end-users workstation address - which of course
often will NOT have a reverse DNS entry.

Example - in the following test mail, Declude did a check on my workstation
address (.135) instead of checking my relay server (.129):
