I second this. Our configuration file by default drops incoming connections on port 25 from any IP with no reverse DNS with the message: "Please come back when your rDNS is configured". The Exim $sender_host_name does a reverse AND forward verification and that is too strict for our purposes. We either make sure dnsdb is compiled in or we make a $run call out to the "host" command.
