Man I wish all major mail servers would get on board with this switch.
I had to shut it off also, but it would it curb spam I believe over 70%

Subject: Witango-Talk: Problems emailing the list resolved (was: A Problem?)

Peter,
We had turned on a few extra security settings on our mail server that  
would stop it sending/receiving email from/to servers that did not have  
a reverse lookups or reverse lookups that mapped back to the mail  
server correctly.  This cut down on the spam considerably but seems to  
have cut a few users of the list.

We have turned this feature off as there were a lot more email servers  
than we expected that do not have correct reverse lookups or have no  
reverse lookups at all.

e.g.
