How to disable "reverse dns check" in Exim 4?

>How can I disable this feature?

Are you sure you want to?  Some large email sites require some answer to DNS PTR queries before email is accepted - I am guessing that you are avoiding a significant amount of spam by the inclusion of the feature.  Even my cable ISP has it together enough to have reverse DNS entries for all its IPs (including my own).  Do you really want to accept mail from folks who are even more clueless than the average cable ISP?

Hi Jon,

Is a big problem, many customers has misconfigured servers and complain with me that can't receive messages from their friends or customers.

If its possible to create a IP "Whitelist" for Reverse DNS will be greate, is it possible?

To enable reverse DNS lookups or define an external DNS server list, complete the following steps:

1.
 Start System Manager. If administrative groups are enabled, expand the administrative group in which the server you want to use is located.
 
2.
 In the console tree, navigate to the Protocols container. Expand Servers, expand the server you want to work with, and then expand Protocols.
 
3.
 In the console tree, expand SMTP. Right-click the virtual server that you want to work with, and then select Properties. The default SMTP virtual server controls message delivery for the default domain.
 
4.
 In the Delivery tab, click Advanced. This displays the Advanced Delivery dialog box shown previously in Figure 13-7.
 
5.
 To enable reverse lookups, select Perform Reverse DNS Lookup On Incoming Messages. To disable reverse lookups, clear this option.

Disabling the Reverse DNS lookup makes email reception faster looks more friendly . I do use exchange not aware of Exim architecture but sure you will remain missing emails until you disable it . There are security reason/misconfigured some people don't allo the lookup one or other way .

I support the above comment to support the spam emails by putting resverse DNS lookup .

Thanks
