Excellent, I'm glad we found some common ground. :)

If you'll pardon me saying so, it seems that you have a pretty 
well-defined agenda through which you're viewing your "facts." But 
again, I won't quibble.

Actually it's squeaky clean, and my IHP has no tolerance for 
shenanigans. I chose them partly on that basis.

I didn't say "universally true." I chose my words in my previous message 
carefully, and I stand by them.

However what IS universally true is that the holy triumvirate of 
rDNS/SPF/DKIM will only make it more likely that your mail will be 
accepted, and is the only way to avoid outright delivery failures and/or 
arriving in the spam folder for many receivers, and the value of "many" 
increases daily.

Given that we seem to be in agreement on that, hopefully we can now all 
move on. :)
