Matus,

I feel that you are fighting a bigger battle than one rule in SA.

Without RDNS, you are running afoul of the postmaster rules of virtually
every major email player.  You will have massive deliverability issues..

You are asking for a bandaid when you've just lost a leg to shark biite and
more are swimming around.

You *MUST* fix RDNS to effectively email the world.  It is a waste of time
to look at email deliverability when that basic step is missed.
