My mailserver is very German. When your mailserver tries to send a message, it does a reverse lookup on the IP address. If that doesn't deliver a valid hostname, you're out. But we are not done yet. If it gets a valid hostname, it does an A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6&) lookup on that hostname. And if it doesn't deliver back the same IP address, you are still out. It is fascinating to observe how often that uncovers that even big names get their DNS wrong. Hello, Spamcop ;)
