That means you have significantly greater restrictions on incoming email
than I can afford to do. :) You're lucky. I probably could do it on this
server as it's just for my domain, but I run the same config everywhere
for simplicity. I'm guessing I couldn't directly email you from this
server due to my crappy RDNS.

I have two customer domains that get anywhere from 100-1000 attempted
NDRs a night from russian servers with correct RDNS and MX records that
have accepted emails from domains with -all SPF records. The only way to
fix it was to force PVRS/BATV on the way out since backscatterer.org
seems to delist occational bouncers too quickly.
