well, I used to support customers which were running mail servers behind a broadband connection. Most spam filters and blacklists like SORBS check the reverse naming, and if it doesn't have words like cable, ppp, dynamic and such, it's quite safe to work with it.
It just has to have some decent name, but the name shouldn't be necessarily customizable by the user.
Anyway, who's going to send email directly from a broadband connection, instead of using the ISP's relay? :-)

Hey Stan
There aren't many applications that really depend on the reverse name - for most of the things it's enough that the reverse name is a valid one.
You never tried to operate a mailserver behind a DSL-connection yet, right? :)
