this may be deemed off topic - if so apologies in advance. however i respect many of the opinions i see here so thought i would take a chance and ask.
we are a stub network, injesting about 30k emails daily. about a year ago we implemented a spam filtering product. it works well. recently we turned on the knob to enable it to do reverse lookups. only the mild version, a reverse is made on the ptr rr for the ip address sending the email. if it fails the spam filter issues a 421 and closes the connection. unfortunately, we have 6 sites thus far that are legitimately trying to communicate with us but don't have ptr's associated with the ip address sending emails. since it obviously isn't a requirement to have one is it generally accepted to do so? any sense for how many end networks do and don't? thanks in advance.
