I've had messages bounced while having rdns properly set up. I sometimes get a 'rejected for content' bounce - which is truly puzzling. It isn't a html filter as I don't send html andthere are occasional html mails that do pass through the lists. And as far as spam getting through freebsd mailing lists - well, I think everyone can attest to receiving spam directed at the lists. I don't know why the lists occasionally bounce people's messages, but it does happen and it ain't because of a lack of rdns.
