OK.  I get it.  Len is basically saying, "If it is yours, AND it has a PTR
hostname that has a matching A record, list it here."

I bet the right side of from_senders_mybogus.map is a pretty strict check.
If this is correct, then you are correct in your guess.

You would not want strict PTR to A tests done on your own domains if they
are not 100% following PTR to A rules.

In fact, this is part of what makes the IMGate a good tool.  It lets me
run my mail server one way, to account for some issues in IMail, but then
have all outbound mail go through the IMGate, which does have proper DNS
entries.  So I present a proper face to the world, but account for a
program issue internally.
