In general, that's a bad check to have for mail. It might be good to pass o=
n
to spamassassin as one of the items to check for, but just rejecting for
lack of a reverse record is problematic as there are still bad ISPs out
there, even for commercial accounts :(.

In fact, it would be good to let spamassassin know if the reverse record is
missing altogether, if the names don't match up, or if everything's hunky
dory. The latter might even be seen as a sign that the mail isn't SPAM.

Check your mail server. 12.47.167.104 is your IP :). It's the IP your mail
is coming from, anyway.
