Should Exim pander to that? It won't (can't) deliver if a forward lookup
is broken; why should it always accept from an address that can't be
reverse looked up? People should get their DNS house in order.

Of course it would be easy enough to add an option that said "if you
can't reverse lookup, don't reject". Equally, another option could say
"if you can't reverse lookup, always accept", to apply to
sender_host_accept. Do people actually want such options?
