Yes. I admit it can be trying, but I think this is an important way to
stave off spam. I'm probably going to turn up the strictness at CARES.

I saw one host bounce a mail of ours because our reverse PTR record was
different than our mail domain. It was correct, but the receiving host
did not consider looking up our MX record and reverse-mapping that. I
sent a complaint to postmaster there and I haven't heard any complaints
since.
