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%

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. ; <<>> DiG 9.2.2 <<>> mail.queenb2b.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40000 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mail.queenb2b.com.
