Just that rejecting mail based on the results of a reverse lookup generates too many false positives. My guess is that CL was noticing the adsl-somethingorother and rejecting just based on that. As if nobody but a "real" ISP has any business running a mail server. Ridiculous. > I've had a similar trouble with Craigslist: they reject my messages > because I allegedly have no reverse DNS.

Having no reverse DNS at all is something else, and really should not happen. A while back I tried rejecting those, but even then got too many false positives.
