Ack. There's _tons_ of cable/DSL links with correct RR pointers that are utter SPAM engines, and judging from the recent reaction to CCs move, a _lot_ of valid MTAs that don't have matching or even existing RRs. Rejecting these is not really going to avoid a lot of spam, but it going to make you unreachable for a considerable amount of (potential) customers, and customers of your customers. For us at least, that's completely unacceptable.
