Why do you think they have that requirement? It's entirely because IPs without PTR records are more likely to be spammers than those who do. Specfically, because it's an indication that the person running the machine didn't set it up as a server, or doesn't know what they are doing. > > Another is to build the reputation of the server you are using, > > Won't do any good.
