The other thing I'm surprised that MS hasn't put into Exchange is reverse
DNS lookups.

Which are pretty darned useless.

Why do you feel these are useless?

I knew I forgot something. :-)

If you find that a sender has a PTR that resolves to a name like
"adsl-02-123-62-atl.someisp.com" does that really contribute to your
estimation of the sender's trustworthiness?
