That makes sense, but it's not what I read at
http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#RDNS
I don't see anything there about looking up a corresponding DNS A record.
Is the documentation perhaps out of date? (or am I losing it?) ;)

Do we perhaps need 2 parameter/rules? One for when the rDNS record does not
contain an IP address, and another for when there is no DNS A record for the
address that's found?
