Re: AOL rejecting hosts with no rDNS?

It's been my policy for quite a while now, tho I outright reject them
while it appears AOL would just give them a heavy negative weight. I print
a valid yahoo address in my return code in case someone with legitimate
mail needs to be white-listed.

I was just browsing my SMTP log and found this:

"America Online (AOL) and it's affiliated companies do not authorize the use 
of it's proprietary computers and networks to accept, transmit, or distribute 
unsolicited bulk e-mail sent from the internet. Effective immediately: AOL 
may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which have no reverse-DNS 
(PTR record) assigned."

I found it interesting. Is this a policy of many MTAs?
