Those new RFCs say nothing new or relevant regarding policy issues.

You're the one who appears to be weaseling, and you're apparently not
even following your own advice either:

11/23/2001 09:00:17: [22870] remote HELO: rejected: invalid operand: 'roam.psg.com': from root@ source [147.28.4.2]: no DNS A records for the hostname 'roam.psg.com' match the address [147.28.4.2].

The A RR for the name your mailer used is clearly pointing to a
very different address:

    $ host -a roam.psg.com
    roam.psg.com            A       147.28.0.10


You don't even have a valid PTR to at least pretend that there's some
relationship to "roam.psg.com" and where your mailer really connected
from.

(BTW, please also honour the "reply-to:" header, at least if you intend
to reply to the list as well -- that way you won't get another bounce
from my mailer! ;-)
