I considered that but decided to cut the text mentioning it, because
it's been such a strong requirement for reliable delivery for so long.
All Gmail has (apparently) done is implement the checks at a big
provider, as a hard requirement instead of a strong scoring requirement.

I strongly suspect that Randy has matching forward/reverse DNS, based
simply on who he is and the DNS RFCs which he's written.
