I do not think it is a requirement by RFC, and I also think it is
strictly harmful to force the connecting IP address to resemble the
hostname, for example a pool of machines called smtp[1-9].example.com
going out via a single IP address. Calling them all smtp.example.com
is (a) not true and (b) frustrates debugging.
