Not only is rDNS non-existent but the HELO name points to an IP
different than the client IP.  It's difficult to FUBAR this more than it is.

Your logic would suggest that fighter pilots are intrinsically excellent
kite fliers.  This is simply not the case.  Most have never flown kites.
 I would make an educated guess than most Linux app devs know nothing
about SMTP RFCs or BCPs or setting up a server properly.  Most likely
know only enough to plug an IP or hostname of an SMTP relay server into
their MUA, just like most non dev users.  How many Apache devs know how
to code for Gnome?  How many Gnome devs know how to patch bugs in mysql?

Being a Debian developer carries zero weight here.
