What more is known about the mail sender or ssh client just because the reverse address lookup goes through?

You have a clue as to who their ISP thinks they are...for starters. Also its easier on the eyes in the logfiles.

I gather that most people here, far from viewing it as legacy, increasingly support more prejudicial treatment of those hosts without it...
