Just because an MTA follows an MX to find where to send a piece of mail
doesn't mean that other things don't use PTR records for other purposes.

To consider the headers in your note:

Received: from mm_w2k1.micromedical.local  (mailgate.peakflowmeter.co.uk
[62.49.78.214] (may be forged))  by dagger.cc.vt.edu (Mirapoint Messaging
Server MOS 3.2.1-GA)  with ESMTP id AUE74943; Fri, 01 Nov 2002 03:56:05 -0500
(EST)

You might think about where "peakflowmeter" came from....
