Ah, I see! Well, I won't complain about it - I'd think that
any reasonable person setting up a domain would put in full
information at *least* for the mailserver, NS's, et cetera.
So mail shouldn't be coming in from hosts that don't resolve
both ways anyway. (And if it is, I have no problem with
telling them to get with the program, if it means getting less
spam. ;)
Thanks very much for explaining that functionality.
