It is a good thing to have, but not strictly "necessary".
However, do keep in mind that some mailservers (such as those at freebsd.org)
require that the sending IP have reverse DNS. And yahoo was / is thinking of
this measure, from what I read on a list some months back.
So yes, it is an ever increasing necessity, in some cases.

LOST #116 -**< Sub : No password login as user (#1) >**-
Fed up of typing password for every login as an user on stand
alone boxes ? Edit /etc/login.defs. NO_PASSWORD_CONSOLE field
should have tty names (e.g. example below permits no password
entries for tty4,tty5 and tty6):
NO_PASSWORD_CONSOLE tty4:tty5:tty6
