That is a common misconception. I have seen mail bounced because of a mismatch between SMTP greeting name and PTR record name. It's not as common as the simple "is there any PTR record" check, but it does happen.

The SMTP greeting name should also have an A record that resolves back to the address used as the source address of the connection. I once saw an SMTP server used to send mail from several unrelated domains, where each one was sent out through a different address. The mail server used the same name in the SMTP greeting regardless of which domain it was sending for, and this caused problems for all of the other domains.
