IIRC AOL now block all mail from servers with no rDNS. There are a few other
major players who have also done it recently (although I can't remember
which). I have been doing it for a few years now and no complaints (although
I only defer the message just in case of some sort of DNS failure - I
believe most people do it that way).

All the best
