Unfortunately there are far too many broken reverse lookups out there
for me to institute blocking on that basis. Our support people would
kill me if I did. This means I can't currently reject mail from
addresses like ms.uu.net effectively. Others however may be able to get
away with it. With the current behaviour, I can't use the
sender_host_reject rules effectively on our servers. So, I think an
option would probably be the best answer, as it allows for both options,
strict or lax.
