I see hundreds and hundreds of these a day here, though we deny access to all dynamic looking hostmarks via mitler-regex rules on the MTA's as well as outright deny no rDNS, so spam from them is in fact non existent. > I side with the complainer on this one.

In its day, it was a very welcome rule, because as pointed out, spammers do have brains and know how to relay through "seemingly trusted hosts". I also know as many sys admins who outright block all of hinet in access file's, It is a decision I don't agree with, but each network must make its own decision based upon their own requirements.
