Good point!

"AOL, MSN, ... <long list of familiar 'big' names> work bothways with us.

Have to say that we *wanted* to do this a year earlier, tried, got bollocked.

It was the whitelist that made it supportable. That, and the fact that we are
less 'alone' with each passing week.

With some <domain>.<tld> being targeted by 80-90% spam/malware, many larger
firms are beginning to do the same. They have to do so.

We don't insist on a PTR, nor that the HELO be a resolvable hostname, but
no-DNS-entry-at-all = no joy here.
