AOL rejecting mail from IP's w/o reverse DNS ?

AOL says the PTR record needs to be assigned. It doesn't specify it
has to match the @domain.com in the MAIL FROM: header. Wouldn't it be
enough to make sure every IP address you announce has a PTR and
matching A record? Hasn't this been a requirement for MANY services
for MANY years?

Right -- and then folks will start creating wildcard PTR records...
