Looks like both the bad_helo and require_ptr tests have a significant
percentage of false rejects, much higher than the average 0.10% for all
their 35 tests. Between these two tests, require_ptr is ten time more
likely to catch a problem, and 1/3 as likely to reject a good message.

If <pobox.com> would only reject on no PTR record like the error message
says, that would be great. Unfortunately, they also check for an "A" record
on the name recovered from the PTR lookup. It is this check that causes all
the false rejects, and my complaints to pobox have fallen on deaf ears.
