Exchange 5.5

I'm a little confused on Reverse DNS.  I kind of understand the concept that
with Reverse DNS enabled the Mail from: entry must resolve to a valid domain
or it will get rejected.  Some I have some basic questions:

I take it Exchange 5.5 does not support Reverse DNS?
How about Exchange 2000?
How effective is Reverse DNS to help the control of Spam?
What problems/issues will we encounter if we do implement reverse DNS in
some for on front end servers whatever it may be?
What about users who have POP and have their return address set to be
something other than their ISP but they use the ISP as the relay?
When they state the Mail From: they mean the From: in the display area and
not all the routes?
If you have a front end relay like PMDF/VMS which relays first.last@domain
to a messaging system, reverse DNS will not prevent spam to the receiving
systems since it will also validate from the relay?
