It doesn't matter how many times you say this, it's simply not true. No
RFC requires this. This is you saying "I think a public-facing MTA
really, really does need to have a fixed-IP with a valid PTR RR".
Please express such things as opinions, and not as universally accepted
facts or technical requirements, which is what they, however
unintentionally, come across as.

And, yes, I know I'll get my usual bounce from your mail server when it
throws away yet another perfectly legitimate non-spam email, because I
dare to send email from my home ADSL connection, starting the email in
RFC1918 space, with no matching reverse DNS.
