The reverse DNS was not working on it when I posted.  It seems to be
working now.  Postfix will soft-bounce (450) on failure to get reverse
DNS since it can be a transient DNS failure.  Now that RDNS is working
I'll probably get a little spike flowing in.  Thanks for getting the
RDNS working.

Yes, if people are whitelisting by IP address, knowing these in advance
would help.  This is one reason I prefer domain based whitelisting.
Some day I hope to blacklist the whole internet and whitelist only the
good parts.  But that's for another mailing list.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
