Yes good habits are good. As I said I only use this for home experimental use and only use it for a few mailing lists to see which ones get used by spammers.
everyone) don't care if some email gets missed, I have another address from my ISP I use for all other email (Earthlink with their -full- spamblocker setting which blocks 100% of addresses not in the address book). And the reverse DNS just needs something in the name even if it only maps to a name provided by your ISP and doesn't match what you provide, it will only block IP's that have nothing in the reverse lookup.
Ah, if that is so, then I have no objection. I thought it needed a reverse mapping matching the given domain.
After further checking the only email that will fall under this are ones that don't properly resolve the IP address to a host. Even if they resolve to some-domain.com(or net or whatever) the IP must resolve to a host name or else postfix reports unknown.
