How many legit mailservers get their revDNS from RFC 2317 style
delegations? Marking hosts "MTA=no" is an addon for an explicit block.
I'd assume most ISPs cannot simply mark their revDNS with "MTA=no"
without changing contracts, but even adding "MTA=yes" would be of
a lot of help.
And it is really easy and doesn't have any negative side effects ;-)
