Just bringing this one back to the table to see if anyone has seen any
movement on this.

Our problem is that we have more than 1 internal mail server and no
external servers to be the relay. All smtp outbound traffic leaves
through the default IP which the reverse dns does not match our mail
server names and thus we are being blocked by domains requiring this. 

Thanks for any thoughts.

Does it not seem a little strange that ISA works like this? Do other
popular firewalls such as CheckPoint behave like this for published
servers?

http://www.ISAserver.org

But if there is an A or PTR record related to the IP of the external nic
of ISA, and that record shows the domain, then again anything coming out
of it will pass.

BTW, many of us active in the war are spam are not scoring or relying on
SPF PASS. This is because spammers are also setting up SPF records. We
are instead mainly using SPF FAIL.
