I'm not sure that's the case. It just means the those who use qmail AND (have bad reverse lookup OR are on a dynamic IP address) will not be able to send email to my domains UNLESS I whitelist their host.

I guess i'm at a loss here. Exactly how would trying each MX record in turn prevent your filtering techniques from processing reverse lookups, or dynamic ip's.

but the guy is correct. qmail is owned by one person, and is not likely to change. The followers of qmail, I think, would have adopted such a MX strategy, if it was *exactly* spec'd that way into one of their mandatory patches.
