-------------------------------------------------------Andrew, you are mixing 
things up again. 

Doing a PTR lookup on the connecting server on an incoming message is a
valid test as part of an anti-spam effort.

Doing a PTR lookup on the receiving server on an outgoing message is
worthless as part of an anti-spam effort to keep spam from coming in.
