IPv6 from a MTA address without a PTR. I put a workaround
using the IPv4 address (the old one), it was fixed but I
didn't remove the workaround.

It then seems to me that the only thing that ought to be done on
an emergency basis is precisely for you to get rid of the
workaround.   As operational practices go, leaving kludges in
place longer than needed is always a cause of problems sooner or
later.

   I agree that having a system floating around that runs an
SMTP    server but that eats messages ("blindly" or not) is
undesirable    as an operational policy.

=> exactly and BTW 32.98.170.64.in-addr.arpa has still a PTR to
mail.ietf.org.

Yep.  Both should probably be cleared up, but it isn't something
I could easily be convinced is an emergency.

best,
    john
