Howdie;

I'm starting to see plenty of these and they are new to us:

zgrep "address not listed" /var/log/mail.info
Sep  3 05:26:59 ....: warning: 222.252.239.56: address not listed for
hostname localhost
dig -x 222.252.239.56

...
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;56.239.252.222.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR

;; ANSWER SECTION:
56.239.252.222.in-addr.arpa. 83651 IN PTR localhost.
...

Taking to one side the various RBL's which are catching these, and not
going the whole 'PTR must match' route - would it be practical to craft
a 10 point rule based on PTR = localhost? Is it even possible to build a
rule based upon DNS returns?

Forgive the stupidity of the question, but I'm not sure how to, or even
if it can be implemented?
