It is becoming simpler to avoid this problem though - It costs somewhere
from $1 to $10 a month to have your own el-cheapo VPS running somewhere
around the world and most of them allow you to set the PTR RR at signup
or via a web interface.
Of course, not everyone can do that for themselves. Hence why you'll
need to provide it to them as a service.
