That wouldn’t have worked anyway.

Assuming a reverse lookup of an IP address returns a name -- a big if -- 
there’s no guarantee that name has any relation to whatever domain name is in 
the MAIL FROM.

For instance, lots of organisations outsource their email to specialised 
hosting/service providers. A MAIL FROM might well say example.com while the 
reverse lookup returns some name in $emailprovider.com for a server that’s 
delivering email sent by bazillions of customers.
